It is entirely reasonable for them to charge whatever they see fit for copies they make, but why should your "producers" be able to charge for copies other people make from copies those people own when the producers incur no costs and none of their property is involved? If the producers don't want me to make copies of the copies they sell me they can refrain from selling to me or condition the sale on contractual terms that limit what copying I can do. Why should I be forbidden by statute to create copies of objects that I own? Doesn't really matter in the long run, though. Now that the marginal cost of copying is zero copyright is going to die. It was only really practical when large-scale copying was an industrial enterprise such that enforcement was feasible. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
