copyright law doesn't give me the right to create as many monopolies as i want just because i wish to in a licience, fair use prevents that
if you were sending traffic to company a as an affiliate and i taught them how to change their content to maximize their sales under the it can be shared freely world (ie setting up a private tracker properly) your rebills would go up, you would benefit from my copyrighted work.
copyright law as stated would not allow me to declare that your affilate income is mine because i want a monopoly for medium of traffic sent. (i am being nice by simply capping it at 73 times what they paid out, if you send enough traffic to exceed that limit then you can keep the money)
i need you to agree that if we share the same clients, as an agreement between us, i get to declare your work is covered by my monopoly so all your money earned is mine instead.
because the point is copyright law doesn't give me that right, just like your wrong when you claim that it does give the movie studioes that right.
