RE: You cannot take away from the author that which does not belong to the author.

Some things are covered under Fair Use and other things too. Also, does Copyright apply to the Internet is my question. My rebuttal is that it depends on many different things as enforcing Copyright on the Internet is a Pandora Box in that there is an invisible line between what is perceived as infringing copyright and the technical violation of copyright through the very nature of how computers automatically copy data to a sea of computers, different servers, the data is like water and it floods into the RAM, the cache, the CPU, the GPU, information and data is literally and technically being copied and pasted in zeroes and ones as in binary code like water in the ocean as it flows through the Internet, as text, audio, video, files, photos, move around the Internet, it is technically being copied without the approval of the owners of the copyright, the patent, the trademark, etc, whatever the case might be, the data is literally being copied trillions of times or countless times through so many different hard drives and is being mirrored and copied without permission by agencies such as the FBI, CIA, NSA, MI6, other organizations, governments, groups, Facebook, Google, God knows who else, meaning it is crazy hypocrisy to punish some people for alleged copyright infringement while simultaneously ignore agencies who are copying the data and storing the data and selling the data and some of that may be violating the 4th amendment and other things. I can talk all day about copyright and I see it as a crazy thing by the very nature of how the Internet works in that data works differently than a tangible and physical painting for example. And would it be copyright to take a photo of a painting? My argument would be no. See, with tangible items, you want to buy the painting. And a photo of a painting is not the painting. So, if I sell the photo, people should not buy it but they can if they want. But the photo is not the painting. But if I sold my photo and said it was a painting, then that might be considered to be a lie, a scam. Then bring forth the copyright violation as I was pretending to sell something which was not what it really was. Well, I guess it all depends. I could say more but I will stop for now.
