Copyright is not a moral right, it's a monetization strategy

You talk about moral but I don't see in your proposal what's moral about not allowing two entities to trade things fair and square.

To see what I mean, it rubs me the wrong way when I buy a used car and lose the warranty by doing so.

I'm not sure I follow your point. Copyright operates by preventing trade. If something is under copyright, ~every person possible is banned from freely trading that thing.

You're trading the copyright itself. But you're proposal would ban that.

That is because the warranty grantor chose to write that into the warranty, is it not? Or do you see someone else being the cause?

I wasn't asking for an explanation. Just pointing out it feels wrong.

Same way, it would feel wrong to have copyright protection and have it go away if the item is sold to someone else.
