r_schestowitzThank you for this analysis. Interestingly, "... the desire for consistency cannot on its own serve as a basis for judicial recognition of the rule of exhaustion" also appeared in the U.S. 2nd Circuit Appeals Court opinion in the ReDigi case, written by the eminent copyright jurist Pierre Leval in response to claims by amicus briefs submitted on behalf of ReDigi that exhaustion (first sale) rights should exist in digital downloads for theSep 15 00:39

r_schestowitzI'm not sure, either.Sep 15 07:32
