Is it really a
law? I'm very suspicious on the point; I guess it is just a business practice.
As far as I understand, the
old practice of the publishing business is something like: to print on a paper and sell the paper. I appreciate Amazon on the point that it broke the out-of-date business practice. Hence, I hope Amazon to break another silly practice.
I'm living in Japan and I know we have no such laws in Japan. All of those
rights are in Japan too, but they are just practicies in the publishing industry.
If some country has such a law, then it should be a result of a choice of the citizens of that country, as far as it is a democratic country. It's not a pity that citizens who made a bad choice get some difficulty...
