Re: [AGA-mcm] Electronic Re-publishing Article



I think that ACA read the court better than the court read
the law.

Venue and medium are what selling copies (and thus
copyright) is all about. Hard to make sense of what the
court decided here, since it sounds like the NG didn't just
release in a new format but actually reworked the material
and released in a new format. You might call it an
Axelrodic interpretation.
