I understand the purpose/necessity of transference of
ownership of digital content. Until now, there was no way to
move ownership of digital content from one user to another.
This isn't really a big deal now, but in 40 years when
people with extremely large libraries start to pass away
more frequently, digital libraries will be lost completely.
There is nothing to pass on to someone. This new system
would make that possible.
My problem with the whole thing is how someone could get a
patent for this. So now no one can sell digital media unless
they come up with a new method other than amazon or apple?
that's stupid.

This helps reinforce the notion that digital goods are scarce and in short
supply.
If that were true, they why can't my used digital copy that is no longer
available, suddenly be worth much more than its original purchase price? Will
their patent cover that situation?
Probably no need. If there were demand, they would continue selling it, and
probably raise prices, as expected.
What I suspect (forgive my being cynical) is that they want to effectively
destroy a secondary market for used digital goods. That way they keep the
primary market from having any competition.

The digital version of books, etc. is usually licensed, not sold. The producers
of the digital content really, really want it to not have a resale market. The
license clears the barrier of the First Sale Doctrine and leaves them free to
dictate the rules. In order to make digital re-sale work, it must actually be a
sale in the first place not a license agreement.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
