When you are a content creator, you create ONE copy. This does not entitle you to ANY other copies.

Copying is not theft, but copyright sure is.

A Content Creator is first creating _the master_. Copies are what happens after.

Unless you are talking about serial editions, etc.

Huh. Interesting distinction, thanks.

Mine has been that contributors (authors, editors, performers, researchers, etc) increase information content, complexity. Kind of a information theoretic metaphor, not that I truly grok that discipline.
