No it's not. That's not it at all.

For example I can give you a recording of a song I wrote. You could work out 
the tune and melody, and then teach the song to other people. You can even 
perform the song in public. (at least in the UK).

If i gave you a book I wrote you could share the information in the book 
with other people. You can talk about it, tell them about, you could even 
write your own book on the subject.

What you cant do is copy my book and give it to other people, nor can you 
copy my book and pass it off as your own work.

Copyright does not stop you sharing information. It stops you copying other 
peoples work.

What will it take to get you to understand this?
