[A2k] web: HOW MOVIE, MUSIC, AND CONTENT PRODUCERS CAN PROTECT COPYRIGHTS AND CAPTURE MORE REVENUE IN THE INTERNET AGE

[Seth Johnson]

My comment:

  Do not try to bend the spoon; that's impossible. Instead, only
try to realize the truth.

  What truth?

  There is no spoon.

  There is no spoon?

  Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is
only yourself.

The author treats copyright as if it were about entertainment,
rather than publishing.

"Modification" of the first sale doctrine is just an oblique way
of saying establish xcaster's rights.
