If you buy a book at the bookstore, you own it. You can take it home, scribble in the margins, put in on the shelf, lend it to a friend, sell it at a garage sale. But is the same thing true for the ebooks or other digital goods you buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don´ t own those purchases, you merely license them. That means your ebook vendor can delete the book from your device without warning or explanation - as Amazon deleted Orwell´s 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers several years ago. These readers thought they owned their copies of 1984. Until, it turned out, they didn´t. In The End of Ownership, Aaron Perzanowski and Jason Schultz explore how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and make an argument for the benefits of personal property.
"Perzanowski and Schultz start off by providing a fine summary and analysis of both how clouds and content streaming work and the implications in terms of ownership and rights. . . . As the book shows quite beautifully . . . there is a perverse incentive for many of those involved to keep the whole story as obscure and unfathomable as possible. This analysis - detailed and impressive - shows how the combination of law and technology works against the users." - Times Higher Education
