Look back a few messages, because I was very careful with my wording here. I
said that it is unethical to deny people the four freedoms, for all works.
Note that I do not do so. All of the licenses I use are libre software and
libre culture licenses.
> If my copy of "Pacewar" by onpon4 was my property then I would be able to
relicense it.
What do you mean by "relicense"? Do you mean "impose a new legal monopoly on
other people"? Because that's what that actually means. If you really have
the power to impose legal monopolies with the rest of your property, please
show me how you do it. Show me, for example, how you use your couch to forbid
others from selling other couches that are the same as yours. You can't,
because that doesn't happen.
And yes, if you have a copy of Pacewar, that copy belongs to you, not me. You
own it. You deserve (and have been given) the freedom to copy it, change it,
and redistribute it however much you want. The only thing I use my monopoly
power for is to prevent you from denying that right to others.
