The industry who's abusive lawsuits created the need for the first sale doctrine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbs-M..._Co._v._Straus ? The industry who says making a backup is not fair use http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2006/02/6190.ars ? The industry that doesn't consider format shifting fair use http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2006/02...d-not-fair-use ?
