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
Hows it gonna wipe the copy I have on a flash drive or any other external device?
