So, authors should have no responsibilities and all laws of libel, slander,
perjury, etc. should be deleted?
Also, it seems your point is that copyright law is unethical, not

This is back to the age old question of whether free speech means I can
shout "Fire!" in a packed cinema. (I suppose "Bomb!" is the modern
version.)
