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.

That's... that's ridiculous. Okay, so I think it's ridiculous when people oppose fanfiction and authors get all up in arms about fanworks of their series, but this is even more ridiculous. Enjoying something doesn't mean you own it. Play in their sandbox, sure, because you're not affecting the original canon at all, but remember that it's their sandbox. Because you have nothing to do with the original canon at all. o_O

This is why the original creators often get upset. Is people like this. O_O

(Actually, knowing someone who hopes to be one of the "original creators" of something one of these days who actually has the "NO FANFICTION ALLOWED" mentality, according to him, as a personal thing it's because he did all the work and all of the slash fans would completely bastardize everything and so he'll sue anyone who does that sort of thing because his characters are like his children and they're more real to him than some little teenage fanbrat who wants to fuck around with HIS things. And what's sad is I'm almost quoting him verbatim, so yeah. o_o;;)

BUT I AGREE THAT the ones who probably DO get upset for simply this reason do, I think, have a right to be. If they're notably okay with it, it's fine- after all, there are Star Trek and Star Wars and Buffy novelisations, there are rewrites and reimaginings (Wicked and The Looking Glass Wars come to mind), and back in Charles Dickens's time I think a ton of people were writing their own "Pickwick Papers" and making merchandise and he was fine with it- but if they don't give permission, wtf, it is NOT yours to claim.
