Oh, jeez. Again?

Random House went around this with Rosetta back in 2001, trying to claim they had electronic rights for books published back when electronic editions couldn't even exist.

See http://www.rosettabooks.com/pages/legal.html and http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Random_H..._Rosetta_Books for information.

Random House didn't get very far then. I'm not sure why they think they'll succeed now.
