Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You are confusing ownership with intellectual property. They are different things. You can absolutely own anything you purchase without the rights to distribute copies. You own the media and its contents when you purchase it. You do not obtain the intellectual property rights to copy and redistribute.

No, you own the physical media, and the right for one single person to use the contents of that media.

You do not obtain the intellectual property rights to copy and redistribute.

While correct, I have the feeling it's not what you meant to say.

You don't understand right to use and right to distribute are two completely separate things

Oh I don't? That's why I literally explain the difference in my original comment? Do you talk to everyone like that? The condescension is gross. You don't know anything about me why would you assume my level of understanding?
