“By accessing a webpage, the user not only views the page but can also view— and copy — the code used to create it. In other words, merely by accessing a webpage, an Internet user acquires the ability to make a copy of that webpage, a copy that is, in fact, indistinguishable in every part from the original. Consequently, when a website goes live, the creator loses the ability to control either duplication or further distribution of his or her work.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“the distribution of copies or phono records of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phono records to a group of persons for purposes of farther distribution, public performance, or public display, constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication.”
