Obligatory IANAL. >1. I can easily borrow books, music, movies, etc. from public libraries, and I don't need to pay anything to the copyright holder. The books are provided to the libraries and the libraries lend the books out under the assumption they are for reading. Reading and feeding the contents verbatim into a computer program are two different things. >2. The first sale doctrine also allows me to purchase books, music, movies, etc. without paying anything to the copyright holder. You have a right to do whatever you want with the medium, but you do not have a right to do whatever you want with the contents therein. >3. Fair use (e.g. parody, criticism) permits me to use copyrighted works without paying anything to the copyright holder. Only under very specific conditions, chief among them being that you use only what is absolutely necessary in small amounts and nothing more. >4. I can easily listen to music on FM radio without any royalties being paid to the copyright holder of the sound recording (unless they are able to collect songwriting royalties.) See #2 response.
