Thats easy to do (on paper). Dont let copyright owners revoke/expire their licenses (or if its revokable mark and price it clearly). Once a product containing it is purchased, its owned till product ceases to exist (or similar).

All these music behemoths are way too powerful and they twist entire society globally to dance as they want. Not a fraction of a worry for pirates of course, just for decent paying fools.

Abhorable business.

Can you download and resell a digital copy of a game you purchase?

If not, this doesn't seem to fix all of the issues it just feels like finger pointing at "evil copyright laws".

Yeah maybe we can change those to, but what about making it so if you pay for something you can do whatever you like with it.

Say if I buy a copy of a movie from Amazon I should be able to sell it to my friend who doesn't have an amazon account..
