This is true. But the same is true if DRM Dave makes snow globes that
play a CC-licensed song. Nobody else can put derivatives (or anything
at all) on this sort of snow globe--simply because Dave is the one with
the manufacturing plant. Why is this not a platform monopoly of this
troubling sort?

James, is this really an honest question on your part or are you just trying to pin someone down to bolster your case?

I want to put this question to Greg. You and he are making similar points, but you have different conceptual frameworks. My apologies for not making clearer that this is a question of him in particular, not of all opponents of parallel distribution.

James
