A brief Googling of some legal sites suggests this is correct, which really surprises me.
So...why did so many of the video stores I've encountered have not-for resale, and rental editions of DVD and tapes? They sure weren't any more durable, like library-bound books are. How did Disney win their suits over people displaying their DVD movies at public events? And why don't libraries just stock their shelves from used books stores? Were astrangerhere's MLS classes just a scam?
