That's the hook in the copyright laws. You didn't buy the "content" -- you bought *one*copy* of the work. You have no rights to the content, per se, other than as represented on the _one_copy_ you purchased. There are some exceptions and such, but a good starting point to getting an intuition as to what you can and cannot do with the work is to begin with the premise that what you "own" is _that_one_copy_. [and so view the exceptions as boons, rather than entitlements you can try to extend by analogy to other situations]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
