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.
I suspect that attitude is a symptom of the propaganda poisoning of North American culture by various rights-holders' associations.

Sharing your toys in Kindergarten is worthy of praise. Sharing your eBooks as an adult is worthy of harsher punishment than minor drug offenses or even assault are generally thought to call for.
