You know EU already have a ruling about this matter. They understand digital purchase as ownership, not licensing for use, so if you own the product you have the right to sell it. If it ever comes to fruition it will be due to law enforcement. Well, my thought like I said, I own the copy, I have all the right to sell it. Imagine if Hyundai puts a lock in their car so it can't be resold, and if a person purchases it they have to pay a fee to Hyundai themselves so they can turn the car on. Or if I want buy a house that is already of someone and that were made by a construction company, I buy the house, but to get the keys to live in it I have to go to the original company that builted and pay 20,000 USD to have the keys. I think in media, mainly physical media, the same way. |
This. I think that society as a whole will have to rethink how we view digital media as property. The interesting thing is that a Bluray is only just another storage device, but since we can physically hold it in our hands, we suddenly put a monetary value on its content. Has the monetary value actually changed because the digital content is on a disc and not on a harddrive?
