I doubt that Wired thinks I can buy a copy of their (print) magazine and then, since I own it, I can do whatever I want with it (like scanning it and putting it online).
- sliverstorm 14y agoWell of course! That's different. /petulantchild
- MetallicCloud 14y agoThat is different though. Buying a phone doesn't allow you to make an exact copy and then sell it, but buying a copy of wired does allow you to use it to prop up your monitor, use it as insulation for your house, or anything else you decide to do with the paper.
- sinak 14y agoBut Wired may think that you should be able to use what you've bought in a non-copyright-infringing manner. For example, you might scan the magazine so you can read it on your tablet. That's what's at stake here. Btw, it's a Wired opinion piece, so it doesn't necessarily reflect Wired's own thoughts on the matter.
