When did publishers explicitly claim that ebooks are licenses rather than sales?

Also, chances are that the language regarding both digital commerce and licensing are completely different in author/publisher contracts than for musician/label contracts. It's common for a musician to license a song for use in a commercial, for example. Authors, not so much.

This ruling won't even apply universally to all musicians, since newer contracts are much more explicit about harmonizing digital use royalty rates with recording rates.
