Well, I think your point is very valid; I feel much the same about what I creat, in whatever medium it happens to be. This said, I think it's a mistake not to license, or at least explicitly state one's expectations are and simply rely on inherent copyrights. The outcome is likely to be one of two possibilities: either people will refrain from linking or redistributing the material out of uncertainty (as Jeremy did), or they will misconstrue the absence of a clear statement as a tacit permission to use the work in most any way they see fit. Just my 2 pennies worth...
