About the CD renting:
I see:
"Congress recognized the problem, and, in 1990, amended the first sale
doctribe as it applies to computer programs and phonorecords. As amended,
the first sale doctrine permits only non-profit libraries and educational
institutions to lend or lease copies of software and phonorecords."
First of all, what was "the problem"? (obviously people renting software,
but why was this a problem?! You shouldn't be allowed to rent something
you own?)
Secondly... couldn't anyone wanting to make a CD rental store just
organize it as an education institution or non-profit organization?
