Adobe characterizes each transaction throughout the entire stream
of commerce as a license.8 Adobe asserts that its license defines
the relationship between Adobe and any third-party such that a
breach of the license constitutes copyright infringement. This
assertion is not accurate because copyright law in fact provides
certain rights to owners of a particular copy. This grant of rights
is independent from any purported grant of rights from Adobe.
