How so? Once something is made available control is lot, a architect can't control what a building is used for or what color paint goes on the walls why should a photographer decide what can be used in a collage?
Rights don't come into existence just because you decide they should. What's your justification for controlling what other people do when nothing has been done to you. You still have whatever you before except perhaps the ability to decide what actions other people can take.

I've not taken anything from you and I consider this quite insulting. I have no interest in your stuff. You are not being personally threatened. What I care about is the greater issue of small numbers of people having the ability to hold up the cultural progress of the whole. My interest is in keeping these unfortunate monopolies short. In avoiding tyranny. Allowing the current generation to draw from the pool of things that came before in a reasonable amount of time just like the previous generation did. You're the one who insists on making this personal against you.

If the goal is not to spur creation then how could creation be anything other than just another job? Are you suggesting that this is a special class of people more worthy than others and entitled to special protections?
