I'm not aware of this principle. Where is it spelled out?

I agree the verdict was a travesty. An innovative business went to ridiculous lengths to stay on the right side of the copyright mafia (data centers with tiny individual TV antennas for each subscriber FFS!) while providing a better product and experience. They still had the hammer brought down on them.

- triceratops 2y ago> And it's nearly impossible to play a CD without that copying. Exactly. It's how you are supposed to use the CD. That's not true for your example of a book on a webcam. You're supposed to read the book, not an image of the book. That's not the same thing as copying for "processing".
- Dylan16807 2y agoWell you said explicit license earlier. Would it be a violation to play back a record like a CD and have a digital buffer? That would be pretty silly.
- triceratops 2y ago> explicit license Selling you the CD explicitly grants you the right to play it using a CD player. > Would it be a violation to play back a record like a CD and have a digital buffer? I genuinely have no idea lol.
