Oh, I agree this ass clown was a criminal.

But back to my license for 2112.
I don't think that's an accurate statement for my 8 track version, album version, or cassette version of 2112. (All of which I owned.)

And the first sale doctrine clearly defines that I have the right to rent or resell that physical intellectual property.
Why could I repair a broken cassette door on the tape, but not the tape itself?
Does that mean I can't splice the tape if it rips? How far does that go?

I know many hear are too young to remember the "good 'ole days" but as a video store owner, I paid $72.50 for an $89.98 retail Hollywood video back in the 80's. If I didn't rent that 45 times minimum, I had a bad ROI. Some idiot with a "new VCR just last Christmas, and he didn't damage it" destroys my investment, you mean my license is gone?

Let's just say I interpreted it differently. Especially after Hollywood got into bed with rentrack (National video) and eventually blockbuster. They instituted a revenue sharing system similar to the movie theaters in an attempt, (which pretty much succeeded) to put independent stores out of business.

Let's just say this issue (not the specific case above) isn't as Black and White as it may seem on the surface.
