you don't have a right to grant new monopolies
in fact using one monopoly to create another is suppose to be sherman anti trust violation
that the point
that all i am trying to prevent
funny
you want monopoly profits from extending distribution monopoly to medium and your arguing the attempt to stop that sherman anti trust abuse is a shakedown
but it the same exact law that makes it legal
you can't have it both ways
if the copyright holder has a right to control the medium then both should be illegal
if the copyright holder doesn't have the right to control the medium that both should be legal
that the point.
you said i was wrong and that transmission thru the cloud was distribution
your exact words
timeshifting in a cloud said public transmission was not public distribution.
it doesn't have to say it have a right to distribute (and i never said it did)
it says it not distribution.

Let's just agree to disagree and put this to an end.
Yes, I feel that I should be allowed a monopoly on content I create and own outright. If I want 10 monopolies so that I can stagger distribution over 10 years and make a bunch of money with my content, I should have them. It is my content, I should be allowed to do with it as I please and if you try to take it for free against my wishes or distribute it against my wishes I should be allowed to pursue legal action against.
That is how I feel. All the double talk, legal loopholes and mumbo-jumbo speak/changing of the topic isn't going to change my mind.
