Since at least 1100 CE, even artists have disagreed with you. "The Moving Hand writes, and having written, moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall remove half a line of it."

You don't own art that has been released to the public, anymore than you own a car or pizza that you sold.

I agree with this, but that’s not what I’m arguing.

Buying a pizza does not give you any rights to force the owner to maintain that recipe you purchased a slice of.

Buying art does not give you any rights to force the owner to do anything, either.

This is where IP law gets so confusing in the modern world. You can "buy" access to IP, and it feels like you are buying the thing, but you are not. Netflix is under no obligation to provide s04e01 of CSI:Indianapolis, even if that's the sole reason you subscribed.

I'm not sure what you are arguing for. Should an artist be able to remove a viewing of a film that's already occurred if they dislike the final product? Or should George be able to forbid me to watch a released version of SW where Han shoots first?
