Your money making activities are
constrained by laws, not by social conscious. I am sure this is not
true in all situations, but, by your statement, is true in at least
some situations.
No, it means I don't see the creator of a painting as having some
magical rights over the painting. He has the right to the canvas its
painted on (assumign he didn't sell it). He has a right to keep it
locked up in his house and prevent me from seeing it. He doesn't have a
moral right to prevent me from copying it. There is nothing that gives
him a moral right to control how his painting is used, no more than an
assembly line worker has a right to say how I can drive my car, or
wether I can put bagels or english muffins in my toaster.
Not having the moral right would depend on your morals
He has the legal right to do everything you state above.
And I for one prefer that he keeps those rights, coz I use the same
rights when assigning the GPL to software, and let the FSF exercise
those rights on my behalf.
