See, you have to go too far...

you can take that and sell copies of it all you like and keep the money.

Taking my name off of it and putting yours on it is a *separate* issue to the 
issue of making copies of it.

The name thing is a fraud on the public. It is lying.

We could easily have a plagiarism law separate from a copyright law if we 
chose to do so.

Moral rights in a work under a different law than copyrights as it were.

all the best,
