That confused me, too, so I went back and found this in the article "interesting quotes": quote: Zuck and Potter say such a measure would deny consumers fair use rights, which permit copying a DVD for a friend or making a duplicate CD to take to the beach.
Yes, I agree that copying for a friend would be a violation of copyright.
I couldn't find any such quote by Zuck and Potter, nor is it contained in the proposed Consumer Bill of Rights. I wonder where it originated? Pretty stupid statement, regardless. -- The glass is neither half-empty, nor is it half-full; it is merely twice the size required to contain the liquid elements therein. |
