« This is an experiment in property rights in the digital age, something that’s gotten surprisingly little attention. » An intrepid netizen is auctionioning a song he bought from the iTunes Music Store on eBay. The license doesn’t seem to explicitly cover (much less prohibit) this action. As more and more things become digital, what do we do with things we no longer want that have "value" but no physical substance?
Update: Picked up by Slashdot
Update: The auction was pulled.
Update 2: Apple’s director of marketing for applications and services says this whole thing does not matter since re-selling songs is impractical. Of course the question of what your service actually sell or licence (and what I get for my money) can’t be too important… What about asking the question to someone in legal affairs?
