Where'd you find the info on that, the buyer will get all the rights too? None of the articles i've seen have said that, although it would make sense and I've seen people on discussion forums assuming it. Just looking for a citation.


It makes sense. If you buy a painting, don't you get the reproduction rights as well?


I don't think you necessarily do, but I'm no expert in copyright law or typical contracts as it applies to paintings.

But I know when you buy a CD you don't normally get the reproduction rights as well, no matter how many or few copies were pressed.

But I agree that it would make sense, as I said. But, I also know "it would make sense" is definitely not a reliable predictor of what's actually going on when it comes to the music industry or copyright law.

And if this is what Wu Tang is doing... shouldn't we able to find them saying so in print? So I'm curious if anyone has.
