I agree that creators should have some legal protection against unscrupulous people and organizations who would use their creations without credit or payment given. I also think that Intellectual Property rights should be non-transferrable. If you created it, you own all rights to it. Simple as that. The problem we have now is when publishers own IPs for the content they publish. This brings about the uncomfortable scenario whereby the creator of the IP in question is required to cede all rights to their creations in order to have them published.
Copyright law as it stands favours publishers over creators and this is directly contrary to the what copyrights are supposed to do. As such, I do not recognize copyright laws as legitimate in their current state.
