You may know the first.
But what about the latter? The First Sale Doctrine is an exception to copyright holder's distribution rights. Once a copyrighted good is legally sold or donated, the distribution right is expired. In other words, if you buy a book, then you can sell that book. When you buy the book, you buy the right of distribution to that book. You can donate it. You can throw it away. You can let people borrow. Rent it out to people. However, you may not own reproduction rights for the book. I'm not too sure how digital books work. For example, some software and digital content publishers claim in their End-User License Agreements (EULA) that their software or content is licensed and not sold which then renders the First Sale Doctrine as invalid in those cases. When they say the word, "License," it basically means rent. I'm for more ownership rights. I'm against rent. Well, you can rent if you want. You can rent stuff out. I'm for those choices but am also for more directness, honesty. I don't want people to lie to me. If you sell me something, then please don't take it back later on. Don't come back next year and say, "Just kidding, you were only renting it." What are Grey Markets?
Distribution vs Reproduction Rights.
A distribution right is given to the buyer.
A reproduction right is given to the copyright holder.
Why have a Distribution Right?
If you do not have that, then you would have to get permission from me before selling my book, for example. You would have to negotiate that. Think about garage sales, yard sales.
Fair Use?
Blockchain
I want to know how some of these laws, copyrights, trademarks, and everything, work in the world of blockchain systems, cryptocurrencies, decentralized networks. In some cases, a copyright may not allow for something to be transferred to certain countries or places. However, if you are on an international blockchain or Bit Torrent system, then your stuff may be nowhere and everywhere all at the same time because of decentralization. So, this means you may not be able to stop it or restrict it. It is like trying to stop the wind. it is like trying to stop your boat from sinking. Imagine that each hole in your boat represents a computer. A decentralized system is like a bunch of holes in a boat. You can try to stop some of them. How can you stop all of them?

Some important points that anyone posting on the web should be aware of. Intellectual property is not respected much these days. I knew an artist that had her designs stolen by Target for clothing print and couldn't do anything because she didn't have the resources to go up against Target's lawyers.

The problem is partly due to corruption in government, specifically in corporatism, of deep state, and in the depravity of man. The line between what is intellectual property and what is not is a very big question. When you go down that path, like a tool, you can begin to copyright everything. Like common words. Like the words mother and father. Imagine if Disney copyrighted or trademarked the word "Incredible" because of the Incredible films. Then imagine getting thrown in jail if you leave me a comment that says, "That was incredible." Because you said the word Incredible. My example is very extreme but it is there to make a point. Slowly over time, things get worse and worse. I believe in free markets. I do not like monopolism so much. I do not like it when Universal emails me because there is music in the background of my YouTube video which is for my English class and is covered by fair use. I do not like it when YouTube says it is not fair use even as we all know it was fair use.
