Have you everwondered why you

receive royalties on theoriginal sale of yourbooks on amazon.com butnot on the resale, or whylibrary patrons read yourbooks free without compensation to you?

The reason is the “first sale doctrine,” which arises outof the common law and is embodied in Section 109 ofthe Copyright Act. This doctrine allows the purchaser ofa “lawfully made” copyrighted book to dispose of it(sell, loan or throw it away) without permission of thecopyright holder.

The first sale doctrine was an issue in U.S. SupremeCourt case Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.(Wiley), decided March 19, 2013. Kirtsaeng purchasednew English-language textbooks in Thailand,manufactured by Wiley’s Asian subsidiary, cheaperthan he could in the U.S. He profited by reselling themin this country for less than what Wiley marketed themfor here. Wiley had prohibited its subsidiary fromimporting the books into the United States.

Wiley sued Kirtsaeng,arguing it had the exclusiveright to distribute its booksunder U.S. copyright lawand he had violated Section601 of the Copyright Actwhich prohibits importingand distributing foreign-made works withoutpermission of the U.S.copyright owner.

The Supreme Court avoided a can of worms for U.S.purchasers of foreign-made works by holding that thefirst sale doctrine applies to copyrighted works lawfullymade abroad, and the first sale doctrine limits Section601. In other words, Kirtsaeng was off the hook.

The decision removes uncertainty about the resale oruse, without permission of the copyright holder, oflawfully made copyrighted works imported into theUnited States. It also undercuts price discrimination ofthe sort practiced by Wiley in the Kirtsaeng case, whichmay mean cheaper prices for U.S. consumers. The casehas ramifications in other areas of the law, such aspatent and trademark.

Writing & the law: First sale doctrine prevails

A writer and editor with BA and MA degrees inanthropology from Arizona State University,

Tobi Lopez Taylor joined Arizona Press Women in2012. Her background includes conducting arch-aeological research in the American Southwest andnorthern Mexico, and serving as editor of severalprestigious journals in her fields of expertise. Shespecializes in anthropological, archaeological andequestrian topics.

Taylor, a native Phoenician,grew up dreaming of becom-ing a writer and owninghorses. She frequented horseevents and decorated herbedroom with a poster of thefamous Secretariat, but shedidn't owned a horse. Whenshe was 23, she had enoughmoney to buy either a car ora horse. She bought the horseand rode her bike to work –25 years later, she has neverbeen without a horse.

When Taylor enrolled atASU in 1982, she majored injournalism. However, sheenjoyed an elective course in anthropology so muchshe eventually changed her major. After graduation,she worked in the archaeological field in the Phoenixarea. She also did freelance editing for college stu-dents (theses and dissertations) and started publishingfiction, nonfiction and poetry. Taylor now has manywriting awards and more than 50 nonfiction articles insuch national publications as American Indian Art

Magazine, rchaeology Magazine, Blood-Horse,Dressage Today and Horse Illustrated.

Since 1996, Taylor has worked as an editor for anumber of serial publications, while continuing herfreelance work. Currently she is editor of AmericanIndian Art Magazine, but previously served as editorof Kiva: The Journal of Southwestern Anthropologyand History and Archaeology Southwest Magazine.She relocated to Tucson in 2002.

In March of this year, Taylorpublished The Polish andRussian Arabians of EdTweed's Brusally Ranch, abook about one of Scotts-dale's most famous Arabianhorse-breeding farms and itsowner, Ed Tweed, whohelped found the annualScottsdale Arabian HorseShow. She is also co-authorof Layers of History: TheArchaeology of HeritageSquare, which won an Ari-zona Governor’s Award inHistoric Preservation.

Taylor met her husband ofeight years, anthropologist

Alan Ferg, when she was at Kiva and he was thearchivist at the Arizona State Museum. They live on asmall ranch outside Tucson with five horses. Theirhome, which was built in 1929 from stone on theproperty, was a boarding school by the 1940s. Taylorcharacterizes it as looking like an old National ParkService building with a strange floor plan, but says ithas a lot of character and “suits us two anthropolo-gists to a tee.”

Letter to the editor

"I receive many different newsletters and I just wantyou to know that the APW newsletter is by far the

most attractive and well-written newsletter I receive, andhave ever received. I wonder if most people realize howmuch work goes into putting a newsletter together. I do,because I once worked as an editor for an independentpublisher, and I watched her "slave" over that monthlynewsletter. And that one was just black and white, as aremost that I subscribe to. I love the colors you use, the

layout, the graphics, photographs and everything about it.I am a long-distance member who lives in San Diego,where we do not have an NFPW [chapter], and I enjoyreading all the articles that go on in the APW organizationand am really impressed with the number of talented,successful writers you have in your group, including, ofcourse, yourself. I know that you are a very, very busyperson, what with your writing career, and involvementwith the Sun Tan News, and you are truly to becommended for giving your time to being the editor of theAPW newsletter." –– Arlene Uslander
