130 OP

130.) Some people really hate copyright and think it ruins "art." Which is total BS. And, no, they really think that an author looses their rights the moment it becomes published. It's public, therefore it belongs to Fandom. They really think that the author gives up all their personal rights to their hard work, the moment it becomes public. And I have seen this opinion come from many fans, and as a person working on original works, it really bothered me.

They do seem to think they get magical co-ownership. That everyone who reads or likes it, or writes Fan-Fiction, now has some right to ownership. I'm not even kidding.
