That's a very interesting statement. You can buy and sale lab equipment, etc,
but not labs. (Wow)
That's like telling me I can't resell my home. No disrespect to Brad or
CCBootcamp, but my interpretation of the copyright law is :
The U.S. copyright act grants certain exclusive rights to the owner of a
copyright in a work. These exclusive rights are different from the rights
given to a person who merely owns a copy of the work. For example, when a
person purchases a book at a bookstore, they have received a property right in
a copy of a copyrighted work (namely, the book). The book owner may then
resell the book, or even destroy it, since they own the book. However, the
book's owner did not receive any copyright rights when they purchased the
book. All copyright rights are held by the book's author until the author
specifically transfers them. Consequently, the book owner may not make any
copies of the book, since the right to copy a work is one of the exclusive
rights granted under the Copyright Act. This distinction allows a copyright
owner to sell copies of a work, or even the original work itself (such as a
sculpture), without forfeiting her rights under the Copyright Act.
The distribution act grants to the copyright holder the exclusive right to
make a work available to the public by sale, rental, lease, or lending. This
right allows the copyright holder to prevent the distribution of unauthorized
copies of a work. In addition, the right allows the copyright holder to
control the first distribution of a particular authorized copy. However, the
distribution right is limited by the "first sale doctrine", which states that
after the first sale or distribution of a copy, the copyright holder can no
longer control what happens to that copy. Thus, after a book has been
purchased at a book store (the first sale of a copy), the copyright holder has
no say over how that copy is further distributed. Thus, the book could be
rented or resold without the permission of the copyright holder.
Just my two Cents
