If something has value, why should not the creator of the value or those the creator assigned the rights to the value....maintain ownership of the value?
The public has no right to your bank account or your lawn or your fields or your house. There are various taxes to enable "public good" to come from "private ownership"....but the ownership itself is understood.
If an author makes a bad deal for himself....that doesn't change the concept of ownership or intellectual property. If I sold a watch only to find out that it had far more value than what I sold it for....too bad for me. I got my price and now someone else is the owner.
If you work for a company in a creative role....you can bet that it's the company that owns your work....not you. But that doesn't change what ownership is. Disney, the corporation, is who owns the work coming out of the many Disney employees...according to their employment agreements.
Having economics allows growth as it spurs investment.
