3ncryptabl3_lick - there's a difference between a legal right and the ability to enforce it. Yes, we do have the right to display our work and control how it is used. On the other hand, keeping that right is difficult. Unless we do what we can to enforce that right, we will lose it. Realistically, when I go walking down the street, I can't guarantee that someone won't try to kill me. I have the right to walk around where I want to, but I can't be 100% sure that I could stop someone from trying to kill me. That's why I pay my taxes for police officers. Billboards are out in public, and there's a reasonable expectation that they won't be defaced due to property laws. (Yes, there's grafitti idiots, but that's why we have police and neighborhood watches to guard against such things.) Why should we meekly surrender our rights just because it's the Internet? No, we'll never get 100% compliance with the law, but should we therefore let theft run rampant? (Sorry, ma'am, but since we haven't solved every burglery, we've given up trying to catch any burglars?)
