All I'm saying is that I don't see how you can keep that right when your 
work is freely available in the first place.  And I mean completely freely 
available, no signing anything, no agreeing to terms, no having to give your 
address, no joining a waiting list etc.

If it went to court in such a situation, how would the judge decide how much 
money the author had lost by this "unlawful" copying of the work?
