That seems... wrong?
You can't unpublish a book by withdrawing the right and force the destruction of already sold copies. I believe DVDs fall under the same first sale doctrine, so this story seems to be missing some details.
- froh 3y agoit's not a normal book, it's a theatre play, a script. and the license owner can restrict the rights for these to be useless unless relicensed. it was mind bending to me. and yes, it feels wrong.
- verve_rat 3y agoYes a play can no longer be performed, but a recording of a play is a different thing. A songwriter can stop anyone from making new covers of their song, but they can't order the destruction of your CDs.
