want to show me in the copyright act where it says physical goods get special rights


so are you actually trying to argue that digital good BUYER are second class citizens

are not entitled to the same rights as their physical goods BUYERs.



That the arguement that record company is making to take away the first sale doctrine away from digital consumers


the problem is the act only distinguishing charateristic is something called material goodsr

and that reference applies twice once when defineing the first sale doctrine and once when defining the context of infringing.

So if the record company is right (and your right) that digital goods are not material goods

then first sale doctrine is not valid.

however google is also right and copyright doesn't apply to digitial goods because there is never infringement.

Stop trying to play word games with the law, give BUYER the same rights with new technology as with the old technologies and you don't have a problem with piracy.

Play games with the law, and your opponents will do the same.
