are any of you guys familiar with the case
ReDigi is a company that allows you to sell your old mp3.
They setup a system which wipes the mp3 before your allowed to sell it
creating a digital equivalent to a second hand store.
Capital record is suing arguing that the first sale doctrine doesn't apply because a digital copy is not a material good
Google is basically filing a friend of the court argument saying will if it not a material good
then it doesn't qualify for distribution exemption.
Capital is playing word games with the law to disallow the digital counter part to an establish legal process.
Google filing a brief designed to trap them with their own game.
If fucking hilarious
