If you run a store on Main Street,

should you get to decide if people can take pictures of your store?

If you run a store on Main Street, should people be allowed to take pictures of your store, copy its content and put it up for sale on another store?

I see this argument made over and over again here on HN and it’s puzzling that people always stop at the first part.

Companies won’t stop at the “look at your content” phase. They will use the knowledge gathered by looking at your content to do something else. That’s the problematic part.

they aren't copying the content. They are learning off the content, and produce more like it but not a copy.
