&quot;repackage the recording&quot;? wtf? Nobody said anything about format shifting. The doctrine of First sale says you can always resell your copy, physical or otherwise. 50 years ago your <i>were</i> &quot;buying&quot; a copy when you bought e.g. a vinyl record.<p>(Sometimes people attempt to confuse the situation by conflating the purchase of a copy of a creative work (one instance) with the rights regarding <i>new copies</i> that copyright grants to the creator.)<p>Regardless, I said property rights, not the temporary monopoly granted by copyright. I&#x27;m not talking about minor things covered by copyright. John Deere is the current example of eroded property rights, where thy retain <i>de facto</i> ownership through the copyright of the firmware.
