People don't have any rights to their digital goods. Doesn't exist. They are not.
It is wonderful to discuss ideas for how the system SHOULD be. I 100% support a legislated solution for digital ownership of copies of things, with a right to transfer and so on, but that's sadly a hypothetical discussion about what could be.
- TheCoelacanth 4y agoThat is insanity that was never envisioned when copyright was created. First-sale doctrine is well established. If you buy a book, you can give it away, sell it or lend it to anyone you want. Those rights should not simply disappear when you start dealing with a digital book.
