Traumwind - copyright theft

I did have a few bitter words to say about Aaron's 10 tips for authors... but now this thread names most points I could bring up.

I mostly agree to the 'I create it, I own it, I decide what's done with it' point. But that's sadly absolutely NOT what's usually happening. More often it is 'I create it, someone gives me some money, and only they decide from then on' (and now to eternity as it seems)

more voices of reason

But yes, I do agree that copyright should only apply to the creator and not be transferable.
