That's crap. I should be able to leave Tibby all of the rights to everything I haven't sold the rights to.
Hey, what happens if 'little Timmy' doesn't want to make gay cakes?
Who cares? He can sell the bakery and make some money. It should rightfully belong to him like any other property left to him. A book is no different. I wrote it. It's my intellectual property. I mean, it's moot because no one's going to care if my shit's in the public domain. Still, my book shouldn't just belong to everybody once I'm dead. Why should I work my whole life and not be able to leave my books to my family?
