- bloppe 2y agoLibraries and archives rely on first sale doctrine, which doesn't apply to digital copies, only physical ones.
- hiatus 2y agoTo add a bit of color, first sale doctrine does not apply to licensing, rentals, etc, which is why it won't apply to most digital sales (though it does not apply to _all_ as you can still outright buy some digital media beyond mere licensure).
