- mattashii 3y ago> For that matter, suspend copyright for works that aren’t purchasable. When do you start (or stop) counting something as "purchasable"? Does it mean I can copy the tapes of movies the day before their first screenings, but not the day after? Or if my local shop doesn't have a show on disk?
- fkyoureadthedoc 3y agoYou do realize that the proposal would work much the same as any other law? First a little more rigor would go into it than an off the cuff HN comment. Second, if you find something ambiguous then go to court and find out.
- mattashii 3y agoThat is exactly why I asked: I can't think of a definition that would be both intuitive and that would not rule out reasonable and valid sales strategies for some forms of art.
