]]> Comment on Is the Kirtsaeng effect being felt already? by Tracy Thompson-Przylucki http://crivblog.com/2013/01/25/is-the-kirtsaeng-effect-being-felt-already/#comment-958 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:13:37 +0000 http://crivblog.com/?p=1941#comment-958 AALL supports the First Sale Doctrine and has joined the Owner’s Rights Initiative (ORI) to further efforts to preserve it. ORI emerged in response to Kirtsaeng. Their stated purpose is:

The Owners’ Rights Initiative (ORI) is a diverse coalition of businesses, associations and organizations that have joined together to protect ownership rights in the United States. We believe in the fundamental premise that if you bought it, you own it, and should have the right to sell, lend or give away your personal property. ORI members are concerned about recent federal court decisions that have eroded owners’ rights. The initiative provides a unified voice for members to engage in advocacy, education and outreach around these important issues.

For more on Kirtsaeng, see this Issue Brief drafted by the AALL Government Relations Office and the Copyright Committee. http://aallnet.org/Documents/Government-Relations/Issue-Briefs-and-Reports/2012/ibkirtsaeng.pdf
