[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 79, Issue 3

[Clay Nicolsen]

Regarding:  The sale of the Chuck Rippel R-390A tapes:


Having had some previous experience with attorneys on the issue of IP
(Intellectual Property) Rights, I'll toss in my 2c:

If you buy copyrighted material, such as music, or, in this case,
videotapes, you are allowed to use them in accordance with applicable laws.

1.  You may, if you choose, sell the original item at any time, for any
price.

2.  You may also, while you own the original, make a copy for regular use,
and keep the original copy in a safe place.

3. * If you choose to sell the original, any copies must be destroyed*.

Otherwise, two different copies would exist in the possession of two
different owners, and the copyright holder would only have been paid for
one.

And that's pretty much it.
