Quote of Note: Jeff Bezos
" . . . when someone buys a book, they are also buying the right to resell that book, to loan it out, or to even give it away if they want. Everyone understands this."
Jeff Bezos in Open Letter to the Author's Guild, 2002, addressing Amazon's used book sale policy. Lots of links to original letter, e.g. this one. Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing notes that Amazon's new e-book reader don't seem to follow this principle that, "Everybody understands."
