But these two things are not mutually exclusive: it becomes an issue
of copyright as a social and cultural norm if the internecine web of
contracts makes it impossible to create any legal and economically
sustainable (both in energy and money) to create a business or
distribution system using current technological possibilities.  In any
case, this is a very interesting development, if only to expose
another layer of ambiguity in this situation.
