Sorry for the late response.. I agree with you here. You're right to criticise the opinion, that only because copyright (Droit d'auteur) protection can be easily (really?) circumvented, that there is no need for protection at all. I only tried to avoid the language of the big campaigns that we all see out there. I'm concerned, that aligning to the terms of those campaigns will not make the task of finding a viable compromise between all concerned communities easier. I hope, this clear's the misunderstanding..
