re: Peer to Peer - Revenge of the Sith
Being that most of our readers are lawyers and law students...this
question makes me shake my head.
I shall answer your question with a question: If you pay once, can
you keep going back to the theater to see it again and again for
free? Why can't you???? That's not fair!!!
It reminds me of a TechnoLawyer question a few months ago wherein an
attorney asked other attorneys whether or not downloading .mp3s from
a Russian site for $0.01 per song was "legit."

This reminds me of something my advanced copyright professor said (without mentioning names happens to be a partner at a major firm) when someone in class raised their hand during a debate and used the defense of "backup copy" as a counter argument to DRM issues.
He replied with "the next time I go buy a suit from a tailor, Im going to ask him to give me two or three extra suits (for the price of one) in case the first one is destroyed by moths"
Although there are some fine line destinctions, I thought it was brilliant that most people don't think of. It is so commonly accepted that we have the fundamental right to a backup copy but does mode of thought flow to any other form of property?
