This is a positive ruling.

Think about it...

First, it supports property rights.

Second, this removes the incentive for businesses to make most of their profits off of American customers. Businesses are now going to charge the entire world the same price rather than sticking it to Americans.

Expect prices of such items to drop somewhat.

It is a positive ruling for the real owners of such items to do what they want but the other side of it is that it renders prosecution of copyright violators nonexistent. Everyone will claim they own the copy and there is no way law enforcement can find out otherwise.

Joe Blow gave me his copy that he made after he legally downloaded it off the internet.
