[Page] 228 [My Comments] Let us not forget, the public would not have access to the works, unless such works are created by the authors. This is not to bolster the argument that copyright laws increase creativity. This is to say that after the works have been created, there is no reason why anybody should expect to be entitled to use them without the author’s consent. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
By phrasing the discussion as one in which the “private” rights of authors are deemed the default rule, the public’s interest is cast as an unnatural and unwelcome “limit” on or “exception” to the desired natural state of affairs. Copyright owners are alleged to have unfettered rights in their works, even if by copyright owners we mean large, multinational corporations who have bought rights, on the cheap, from the actual creators.
