Copyright is not a natural right.  It's not a property right.

Yep, it's not an absolute right.  You got a problem with that?

It covers expression, not the elements of expression.  It's not a
question of whether somebody beats you to the punch in disclosing what
you've disclosed.  The only "part" of Hartmut's statement that's false,
is the "part" that you want to make false.
