    I wonder what the “license” part of “unlicensed cinema” is. Could it… Could it just maybe have something to do with… Not actually owning the things you buy, and therefore requiring a license?

      Well, let’s use my photography as an example then. Do you think it’s perfectly okay if someone buys prints from me, sets up an art show displaying my pictures, and charges people money to see it - without my permission or offering me any compensation?

        You sold them your prints, didn’t you? They’re not allowed to claim any ownership over the art of your photography, but they still are owners of the print they bought.
