Uhr, *hello*?  The word is copyright -- *copy*right.  The right to copy.  An
author does indeed own the copyright in a work, regardless of where he's
chosen to make it available from.  Only the author can grant the right to
make copies; in the case of an upload to an archive, it's assumed the author
is granting you the right to download it and make copies for your own use.
Other copies are an infringement of copyright.

I think Mr. Thornton has it right.  Put the crack pipe down now, the fumes
can't be good for you.
