Thanks to a provision in the 1976 Copyright Act, U.S. law allows the first purchaser of copyrighted material (a book, CD, etc) to subsequently re-sell that item without the copyright owner's consent. In this age of online distribution and the budding, halting attempts at legitimizing it, is the the right to re-sell going to be upheld?

We need more people to show why privacy is bad and why we need big government to monitor everything. Only when government owns everything and monitors it can you, the individual, be assured of freedom.
All we need is more brave new thinkers like Donaldson and the world will finally be safe. Every last bit of information must be monitored and controlled and only then will safety, freedom, and democracy truly exist and flourish.
You are a smart man, Donaldson. If you keep working hard for freedom and democracy, we will make sure you get your promotion.
