The Digital Content Paradox
Please explain the following contradiction:
Copyright / Free Culture advocates / activists (myself included) often decry the absurdity of assuming the logic and rules of physical goods and objects apply to digital goods and objects. At the same time, the same activist / advocate groups often insist than rights and concepts of physical ownership on the consumer end, should apply to digital ownership.
If it’s insane for companies to apply pre-digital concepts to their digital products, it’s insane for us to apply pre-digital concepts of ownership to the same products.
