It's much muddier when you consider the rights that the possessor of a DVD retains.
If the copyright owners tried to do the same stuff to physical media that they do with digital media, courts would rule against them.
The ownership is still clear in both cases, but the scope of what that ownership means is different.
- c0pium 3y agoThat’s not muddy at all. You presented cases where one owns something and cases where one owns a license to use a thing and seem surprised that they’re different. You think it’s muddy because you want owning a license to mean owning the thing. It doesn’t, it never has, and the license terms are clear (if of course a bit verbose).
