It is quite simple, if i sell you a DVD you own the physical embodiment of the DVD ? and are free to use/dispose of it any way you wish ? you do not own the intellectual property embodied within my DVD, and may not exercise dominion over that property. I own the intangible property encoded in the DVD I sold you, and I am within my rights, according to section 106 of the United Sates Copyright Code, to reproduce and distribute the work as I please due to the time, creativity and money that went into producing my work. You as the owner of a purchased DVD merely own the physical object containing my created work and have no such rights. The Constitution is controlling fact, not just the copyright laws Congress has passed under Constitutional authority.
Society believes and justly rewards an individual for the fruits of their labor.
No how about those etchings?
