The First Sale Doctrine in the Copyright Law

The system of copyright seeks to encourage progress, although the capability of law to define the substance of progress runs deeply within copyright system itself, it should make sure that new works should be produced while guaranteeing protection to the creators or authors of the already prevailing works. Copyright law considers and encourages progress in two following ways: Firstly, the system pursues to increase both the quality and quantity of ingenious output. Secondly, it seeks to widen public access to ingenious works. In furtherance of these goals the First Sale Doctrine has been evolved through passage of time.
