I agree with the person who says to do a chown you should have the password
of the new owner required.

	All this B.S. about freedom doesn't include the right to force your
will on others, and that is what a chown to them is, forcing your file on
them. If you want them to be able to copy it, protect it so they can. If you
want more restrictions, write a program that allows them to access your files
and give it setuid for the owner on your directory.
