Clearly everyone would agree that the television and clothing retailers should be able to investigate and prosecute shoplifters."" > </quote> > Why should the owner of a TV have more rights than the owner of a CD? > Copyright owners shouldnt own the information, they should own the right to profit from it. > Just like the TV maker doesnt own the TV once they sell it to you, they own the rights to sell that TV and profit from it. > What I dont like is the fact that as we buy information we dont truely own it, yet when we buy physical objects we own them. This makes no sense to me, I say if we buy music we should be able to do whatever we want with it. --- Okay, let's see everyones true colors.
