An author who gives a manager or publisher any rights in his work except those immediately and specifically required for its publication or performance is for business purposes an imbecile.

Summary

This quote suggests that authors should exercise caution when granting rights to managers or publishers for their work. It argues that unless it is necessary for the initial publication or performance of the work, authors should not give away any additional rights to these individuals for business purposes. The quote implies that doing so would be foolish and detrimental to the author's interests, as it may limit their creative control, ownership, and potential for financial success.
