Schroeder talks about protecting the right of an author to profit from his or her work. The bottom line is that authors can’t possibly profit from works that are out of print and permanently out of circulation. Nor can anyone else.

For example, the entire digit rights medium model is to neuter the product sold to customers in order to achieve product lock-in. I don’t believe that any customer will settle for this transparent an excuse to make profit at their expense. Why would they buy pay good money to get a broken product when they can get a free copy on a non-broken medium?

Copyright appears to be similar. We’ve had yet another extension of copyright protection to protect Mickey Mouse.
