You may choose whether to answer me or not, however it's weird to obtain 
the answer for question B when I make question A -it's like if I were 
asking "/what time is it?/" and you were answering "/today's Spanish Cup 
fixtures are Betis-Mallorca & Sporting-Athletic/"-. I don't understand 
why are you talking about preserving granted rights and all that stuff: 
I'm not talking about currently existing -specifically, recent- cultural 
works. If I'm asking you about works created after the law is changed, 
then no matter which was the old law, as rights regarding NEW works are 
granted according to the NEW law -and that's one of the things that 
pirate parties aim to, to change the current legal framework on author's 
rights-.

After having explained this -though I thought (I think) it was clear 
from my question-, I'm going to try again, now with CAPITAL letters 
instead of using *bold* font-style, to see if you finally understand the 
question:

<<<Are you comparing cultural works with material properties? even if we 
achieve to change the commercial rights term & scope, would you consider 
those rights -when applied to WORKS CREATED AFTER SUCH LEGAL CHANGE as 
/property/ rights?>>>

And if it's still not clear to you, the same question in other words:

<<<I want to know whether you, Reinier Bakels, consider that commercial 
rights of works created after changing the legal framework -by 
shortening the commercial rights term & scope- should be considered as 
property rights.>>>

Hope this time you finally can be able to say:

- "/I'm not going to answer you/", or
- "/I'm going to answer you and my answer is yes/no because/ [...]"

Please don't come back with retroactivity stuff, as I'm not asking you 
about retroactivity.
