Uh-oh.
Automatic termination of rights means that from now on you are no longer
permitted to excercise the rights that were granted to you.
"Recission of a contract" means you went through all the steps of
forming a contract, but then you go back to day 1 as if you never had
one.
The difference seems subtle, but Rjack, I thought you knew the basic
principles? I'm disappointed.
"The difference seems subtle" is a distinction without a difference.
The legal mechanism for "termination of rights" in a copyright
license after a breach is "rescission" of the contract.
Sincerely,
Rjack :)
