Who's distributing?Who's distributing?Posted Jan 3, 2003 17:35 UTC (Fri) by marK (guest, #8865)In reply to: Derivative Works by ncm Parent article: Copyright extremists shouldn't control information (Townhall.com) The video stores are taking the customer's previously purchased copies and modifying them for a fee, and returning them to the same customers. How is that different from them taking a customer's DVD or CD and for a fee, converting it into jewelry for that customer. The stores are not stocking modified copies. The stores are not taking blank tapes, slapping reproduced labels on them, and copying modified versions of the movie on them. They are using their professional equipment to cut and splice legally purchased tapes for the owners of said tapes and charging a fee for the service. I repeat, "How does that gut the GPL?"
