if i buy a chair there is nothing to stop me from taking it apart going into my shop and building 100 copies and selling them


just because it easier to do with content doesn't change the fact that your talking about taking away right

a trade off allowed because you automatically grant the public unlimited use rights for a collection of actions defined as fair use.
