When the copyright holder leases, for a fee, the product for use by others (lessors), what happens to the copyright protection?

Respuesta :

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

It is passed to the person/company that leases the product.
It remains with the copyright holder.
It is transferred to the lessors under "First sale" doctrine.

I believe the first option is the correct answer. 
When the copyright holder leases, for a fee, the product for use by others (lessors), then the copyright protection is passed to the person/company that leases the product.
