Goal was to enphasis the fact some (and moreover any) works can be 
misrepresented regarding the author's view[1].

"An essay" is a strong sample, because it shares ideas themselves and is 
at most not a self-representation (it is the perception from the 
author/provider given to the recipient).

And, yes, anyone can turns your words the wrong way then claims that 
words yours, surely more by choosing a small piece /out of context/ than 
by rewrite the whole :)

As you explained, that's illegal regarding (derivatives ok) licenses to 
attribute to an "original" author /~ twisted ideas/. Just take a look at 
news on any media for /minutely/ occurences of /twisted ideas from the 
ones of authors/.

I acknowlege : this is author's censorship, and author's censorship 
still exists even when a work has been falled in public domain[2].

You point right: A middle way misses regarding non derivative, which 
would be "fair derivative". On translations, on adaptations (intended 
audience), on media porting (eg: a novel to comics, play, movie, ...), 
on aggregation (collage, ...) ... complex to implement.

"Seeding" should always be allowed. Regarding history, copyright laws 
restricting that are just a one century bullshit. They /twisted/ how 
humanity works.

Plagiarism has nothing to do with seeding, while "porting a novel from a 
century to another" /and/ acknowlege it ("from ... by ..., year ...") 
has nothing to do with plagiarism.

What /acknowledgements/ misses to famous plays of 16-19th centuries (or, 
contrary, such aknowledgements can also be a total fantasy from an 
author) ^^.

[1] moreover, that's *hopefully* legal in France to /totally 
misrepresent/ it, valuable for a song, a play, ... (a satire, ...)
[2] here in France, public domain is mainly on the valuable part of 
copyright (earning money), not on the immaterial part.
