How you can hear something or see something even if you did not
aim to do that, I listed in my response to Michael above.
Kinsella has a whole chapter about copyright as a contract.
To make clear, I am NOT against contracts. If you give me a book
under a contract, it is morally correct to abide by the contract.
Question is, can this duplicate a sort of copyright regime? Kinsella
argues that no. I argue the same. It is practically almost impossible.
One person violates the contract and the closed club of
contract agreements is compromised.
So, when you need more money, do you fire up your color copier and run
some off??
You have not agreed to a contract to not do so have you. What is
different? The money may not be "copyrighted" in the same sense as "a
song," but the principle is the same, according to your logic.
