Now we had our fun, time to stop arguing with the Giggletroll. It is long past his bed time, children get cranky when they don't get enough sleep.

Yes it is, in that it restricts my relationship with those who use it to stop me from reading what they have wrote. Perhaps the copyright holder feels that it is in their interest to stop me from reading their text, perhaps until I have compensated them in some way that they feel is just, but who is to say what is just or not?

Giggleton thinks that copyright gets in the way of his relationship with the author. But he wants to have a one-way relationship, where he can force a relationship on his terms. Relationships don't work that way. During the period of copyright, you can enter into a "relationship" with the author buy buying the book. You aren't forced to buy it, and the author isn't forced to give it away for nothing.

I was thinking it was more in line with this. Giggleton just wants to leech off of writers.
