As an artist, I like having the ability to tell people they cannot host my commercial works, cannot claim my own writing or characters for themselves, cannot reproduce them for profit, need my permission to sell them.
I think copyright abuse is rampant and favors corporate entities far too much in most countries, but I think the solution is reform not destruction of the system.
If by "claim" you mean falsify authorship, I suspect this would still be illegal even without all the copyright laws.
Well, this is a problem.
You would be wrong, in the USA at least.
OK, well, that certainly should be illegal.
