Re: Comcast is spying on me!
said by DMS1  :said by Morty :Personally I don't think you do have this movie in your movie collection. Actually, he could have the original because, if you read the notice he got, he was not downloading it but rather sharing it. And, as I learned in Business Law in college a long, long time ago, you can't sell or give away something you don't own. Having a copy of a movie doesn't give you ownership of the moviel; it gives you a perpetual license to view the movie for personal non-commercial use. |

Having a copy of a movie does not give you a perpetual license to view the movie for personal non-commercial use, though the copyright industry would like you to think that way. Rather, it gives you ownership of a copy of the movie. You own the physical media on which the movie is recorded. You do not own the movie itself.
If I buy a copy of the latest John Grisham novel, I own the paper and ink, but I do not own the story. |
