[sudoroom] Kopimism

[Andrew]

Hi Steve,

I'm sure the sudoroom list is probably not the best forum. Maybe at our
next meeting ( or before it ) we can come up with something better.

I would say the short answer to your question would be that you could, for
example, sell an album online, but once someone has it, they are free to
copy and share it if they want or encourage others to pay you for it. It's
entirely up to them. Another example is that i could sell a book, but if
someone wanted to copy it and sell it as their own that's ok because whats
important is the information, not who owns it.
