Providing access to copyrighted work with permission to make copies directly by recipients instead of 'trading' material objects with copyrighted work fixed on/in them doesn't change the status of copies lawfully made (no matter who made them) and owned by strangers with respect to copyright and further distribution under doctrine of exhaustion -- in both cases copies fall under exception to the exclusive distribution right. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
