| Summary |
"Péter Mezei offers an examination of copyright exhaustion, including its historical development, theoretical framework, practical application, and policy considerations. He compares the substantive norms and case law for the first-sale doctrine in the United States and in the European Union, covering both analogue and digital applications, and, in doing so, questions the common rejection of exhaustion in the resale of digital subject matter, such as computer programs, sound recordings, audiovisual works, and e-books. Instead, he proposes a digital first-sale doctrine that would offer legal consistency to copyright law and a technologically feasible and economically balanced framework for content producers and consumers"-- Provided by the publisher |
