Subject: BS: Supreme Court copyright lawsuit From: Songwronger Date: 02 Nov 12 - 09:42 PM "If the court rules in favor of Wiley, libraries may be unable to lend books, individuals could be restricted from donating items to charities, and businesses and consumers could be prevented from selling a variety of products, from electronics, to books, to jewelry, to used cars," said Andrew Shore, executive director of the industry coalition Owners' Rights Initiative (ORI), in a statement....

Subject: RE: BS: Supreme Court copyright lawsuit From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 03 Nov 12 - 02:36 PM The decision may affect my purchases of cds and dvds. I order directly from a couple of English dealers, because they provide fast service, and have good websites. The prices are about the same as Amazon.ca (Canadian), but they stock some material that is only listed on amazon.com (U. S.). (Orders from outside UK do not pay vat, which puts the price close to the U. S.) Additionally, postage on small parcels is cheaper for England>Canada than for U. S.>Canada, and service is just as fast. |

Subject: RE: BS: Supreme Court copyright lawsuit From: JohnInKansas Date: 03 Nov 12 - 05:29 PM The summary of the case in the news report linked in the other thread (where there's also some informed comment) specifically mentioned that the books in question carried a copyright notice prohibiting export from the country where they were printed. This is fairly common for the kinds of things "made cheap elsewhere" for use where they're made, but probably is less common for CDs and DVDs. The Supreme Court has generally been fairly fussy about answering only the questions asked, so if that's significant in the actual case filing any decision may be fairly narrowly applicable; but since the Bush Administration tried to add more "activist" judges the traditional limits have been "bent" a little more than previously.
