So you're saying that even though such a person has no rights to the material, we should all pretend like they do?

If you don't want someone else to be able to benefit from your work, then don't make it available. That sounds like a pretty strange attitude to have though. I thought the entire point of sharing things with each other was so that everyone can benefit?

I would imagine that if everyone was required to do everything from scratch themselves instead of benefiting from the work of others, the world would be a very different place.
