Redigi公司的技术有助于数字媒体所有权的转移,但唱片业已经在起诉他们了。在itunes商店里,Adele演唱的热门歌曲“Someone Like You”售价1.29美元。但在一家叫做ReDigi的在线市场上,人们可以将已经购买的音乐文件再次出售,而这里,仅售59美分。两首歌完全相同,不同的是ReDigi公司将其出售的版本称为“旧版”或“再生版”在itunes商店里,Adele演唱的热门歌曲“Someone Like You”售价1.29美元。但在一家叫做ReDigi的在线市场上,人们可以将已经购买的音乐文件再次出售,而这里,仅售59美分。两首歌完全相同,不同的是ReDigi公司将其出售的版本称为“旧版”或“再生版”(原版在itunes上出售)。这些词通常用于描述实体货物,比如旧小说或闲置CD,而不是越来越多的便于分享的、可永久保存的数字版歌曲专辑、书和游戏。ReDigi公司的计划,以及由此产生的法律上的争论,都触及到了在这个日益数字化的时代中不断变化的所有权的本质。这家创业公司正在践行着美国法律中根深蒂固的所有权的概念,即:一个购买了创新作品的人可以将原来购买的版本重新出售。ReDigi首席技术官拉里鲁道夫(Larry
Redigi’s technology helps divert digital media ownership, but the record industry is already suing them. In the iTunes store, Adele’s hit song “Someone Like You” costs $ 1.29. But in an online market called ReDigi, people could sell already purchased music files for another 59 cents. The two songs are identical, except that ReDigi called the sale a “old” or “reincarnation.” The hot song Adele sings at the iTunes store, “Someone Like You,” sells for 1.29 Dollars. But in an online market called ReDigi, people could sell already purchased music files for another 59 cents. The two songs are identical except that ReDigi calls the version it is selling “Legacy” or “Legacy” (the original is sold on itunes). These words are often used to describe physical goods, such as old novels or idle CDs, rather than more and more digital versions of song albums, books and games that can be permanently saved for sharing. ReDigi’s plans, and the resulting legal debates, all touch on the nature of changing ownership in this increasingly digital age. The startup is practicing the notion of entrenched ownership in US law, where a person who buys an innovative work can resold the previously purchased version. ReDigi CTO Larry Rudolph (Larry
