>>37 Why do you believe in this "moral right"?

Let's get this straight once and for all. Which of the following do you agree with:

1) Authors should be able to restrict people from copying their work because society as a whole will suffer otherwise.
2) Authors have a moral right to restrict people from copying their work.

In >>38 you seem to argue that society will suffer without copyrights, indicating an agreement with Statement One. But >>22 specifically asked you about that, and you denied it -- in >>31 you stated an agreement with Statement Two. So which one is it:

1) Authors should be able to restrict people from copying their work because society as a whole will suffer otherwise.
2) Authors have a moral right to restrict people from copying their work.

This is not multiple choice. Until you pick one and stick to it, you are just putting out noise.
