Ephemeral Propagation Some have expressed concern that our technical restrictions provisions would extend to such cases as the ordinary use of a walkup Internet kiosk. We do not believe ephemeral propagation of this sort should amount to conveying anywhere, and are confident that it is not conveying under United States copyright law. Nevertheless, we have sought in Draft 3 to satisfy such concerns by making clear that the requirement to provide Installation Information applies only in the case of conveying of object code that occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use . . . is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term. The particular characterization of the transaction is immaterial; the requirements cover, for example, outright sales, long-term leases, and installment purchases of User Products. ------
