The conversation covers both pre-change (old) works and post-change
(new) works. And there is of course a point in talking about old works
-we did, I told you that neither UN nor me were talking about
retroactive changes- ... though what I've asked you this time has been
about new works.<br>
<br>
If we achieve to make the change we aim to in 2010, let's talk about
year 2160 -to make RMS be sure that all existing works will be under
the new legal framework or simply in the public domain-. Would you
think that commercial rights, then, have to be property rights? You say
yes, I say no. You say why, I say I do know:<br>

Because:<br>
<br>
- if intellectual works are not appropriable, thus not any sort of
properties, I don't want them to be associated in any way to the
property concept<br>
- furthermore, I want to avoid it because I want to avoid giving
arguments to the lobbies<br>
<br>
If that means making commercial rights untransferable -i.e., just
licensable, so author would remain as the rightholder-, if that means
searching -to avoid inheritance of commercial rights in case the author
dies prior to their expiracy- alternatives to give the authors "<i>an
adequate standard of living</i>", I'll work to define commercial rights
in a manner that, when property lays somewhere, they lay in the
opposite part of the legal universe.<br>
