Well, yes. That's how laws like copyright work; it's an agreement that we've made to try to achieve some result, with bonuses and tradeoffs. If we decide some part of it isn't working out, then we tweak it to alter the outcomes.

- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoThat's not how copyright works. All unauthorized copies are infringing. In the US the only exceptions are "fair use" and home audio recordings. Neither of which apply when selling things owned by another party.

- dragonwriter 7y ago> In the US the only exceptions are "fair use" and home audio recordings. No, there are lots more. Fair use is the first of over a dozen limitations and exclusions to the otherwise exclusive rights under copyright in Chapter 1 of Title 17 [0]; fair use and home audio recording aren't the only two exceptions.
