Licence agreements for books

Aaron sent over This Infoworld story on The \’introduction\’ of licence agreements for books (…will they self destruct if given to another reader? The print fades?)

\”…we\’ve already lost some of the basic rights we used to enjoy under traditional interpretations of copyright law. Loaning a book to a friend is not yet one of them, but who knows how much longer we\’ll be able to say that. Today we might still reasonably expect that any sane judge would just laugh if someone tried to get him or her to enforce a license such as Omnicare\’s limited-use license agreement.\”
