[Page] 43 [My Comments] And nothing has changed. Copyright has always been (and rightfully so) about control and access. There have been thousands of license agreements where one licensee would receive a license to reproduce songs on vinyl, while another licensee would receive a license to reproduce the same songs on tape. Copyright owners have always had the right to determine on which media their works are to be used by whom, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. [Quote from Patry’s book] 
In an effort to create scarcity in the digital environment, copyright owners have obtained rights that give them the power to regulate technologies developed by third parties and to control access to their works. Neither of these rights previously existed. Previously, the copyright laws were technology neutral: They did not regulate technologies, but rather they regulated uses of copyrighted material, regardless of the technology employed.
