The intangible result of your thought process would not be "yours" once you release it to the public without the copyright law granting you a limited "right" to control it after you have released it. Without the copyright law (a license granted to the author by the public), once the public has access to the result of your thought process, it is in the common domain.

Saying "of course" has nothing to do with 'begging the question'
Products of my labors are inherently mine, it's my choice what to do with them.
Forget copyright law, I'm not talking about copyright law. The law is ephemeral and varies from place to place and time to time. It is now time for many of the outdated concepts in our current law to change in light of intellectual properties.
I'm talking about fundamental rights to my property and of other ethical moral beings doing what is right with regard to that.
If you take something that is mine without my permission, you have stolen from me and you are a thief.
