So that everybody can exploit the content. When you post comments and threads on a public message board, you are giving it away for free with the expectation that it will be available for the whole world to see. It has been like this since the beginning. Since Usenet, phpBB and everything in between up until now.

Should librarians be allowed to close public libraries and make them an exclusive club because they work there and have been organizing the shelves?

Librarians are allowed to strike, closing down public libraries.

That's a strike, fine. What about closing the library with all books inside and only allowing their friends in, like in my example? What about burning down the library?
