This past weekend my town was holding its annual village wide tag sale. Of course I received a call asking if I had anything to contribute to my family’s sale. I started to inventory all of the old books that were cluttering my bookshelf and old clothes I wouldn’t wear anymore. There is a whole second use market for these goods, but what about digital files? What if I am done reading an ebook and no longer want to read it anymore, can I resell it for part of its profit? I want to address this problem in my audio essay.
Thats very interesting and I feel as if laws should compensate for that type of use
I never thought of that. for some reason I’d feel as if I were pirating a e-book if I resold it somehow for compensation, but I do not feel at all that way reselling a book. Perhaps because actual books show the wear and tear and often times have markings and highlightings in them- it seems more okay to resell them; they are not quite the original copies, as you have added a bit of your own style to them through markings.
