Lenz: No Sale Doctrine
I would like this to be the law. I'll call it the "no sale doctrine":
If a copyright holder doesn't sell his work (any more), his remedies are restricted to a "notice and take-down" procedure. He can't claim damages. And criminal law provisions against copyright violations don't apply.
Here are some reasons for this proposal.
