How Many Copies Can a Copyfighter Copy?

TechLawAdvisor points to this decision by Judge Posner, in which he notes in dicta that “a copyright licensee has no right to make further copies (except a single, backup copy for his own use).”


Only a single copy?  That’s kind of interesting.  I haven’t known other decisions to be so narrow.  The AHRA is certainly broader (“No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright … based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings”).
