not sure I really agree with that. Just because you make your work freely 
available does 
not mean you lose ownership of the work. If it is distributed on CD then of 
course the CD 
is no longer yours but the content surely is.

is this really relevant if you are talking about art? if you are making art 
with the intention 
of it being free to all this is making some kind of statement about how you 
understand the 
value or worth of a piece of art (whatever that is it is not how much it sells 
for). For 
someone to then sell it for a profit is damaging to the art and in some ways 
to its 
meaning.
