"FIRST SALE" REPORT PUBLISHED BY COPYRIGHT OFFICE
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/reports/studies/dmca/dmca_study.html
The Copyright Office has just released its report on "the impact of
the DMCA and Electronic Commerce & Associated technologies on
Sections 109 and 117 of the Copyright Act."
Look for commentaries from many sources over the next week or two,
but the upshot is that the Register of Copyrights recommends no
change in the law, especially with respect to extending the first
sale doctrine into the digital age.
Interestingly, the Register does assert at the opening of the
Executive Summary that "The enactment of the DMCA was only the
beginning of an ongoing evaluation by Congress on the relationship
between technological change and U.S. copyright law." So we know
there's a long road ahead of us.
