Redigi will lose this case because they’re claiming their software does something it cannot possibly do. There’s no way to prevent people from keeping a copy of the song. there’s too many loopholes available in the technology. The concept itself is interesting and probably should be legal, but the nature of file based property is that all sales are copies, and copying is exactly what copyright law is supposed to control.

I had to pay over $300 for my son’s Discrete math book at his university — new copies were ALL that were available — and no rentals to be had. Found out later the Chinese kids were downloading the book FOR FREE from China!!
At least the math book will be used over 3 courses.
