Why do you have a right to what you post? (Score 1)

The idea of "implicit copyright" on postings is

(A) hypocritical in the light of the abuse of copyright permissions on music and software, among other intellectual properties advocated in these forums

(B) nearly pointless considering the low value of most of the content posted.

I fail to see any moral or ethical reason for any individual to have all rights to what they say -- if you do not wish what you have in your head to be heard, repeated, folded, spindled and mutilated, DON'T SAY IT

While the legal side has been bought for certain blessed forms of expressions, I doubt many posters here have enough disposable income to buy the required protections for their postings.
