I have been writing about it for EFF, where we've been covering it as sort of the latest front in a war on the right to consumer ownership. There have been other attacks on first sale, and ridiculous EULAs, that all fit the same description.
See what we're doing (and take action) here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/your-right-own-under-threat And see my wrap-up of the SCOTUS action (I was in the courtroom) here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/parade-horribles-supreme-court-first-sale-kirtsaeng-v-wiley Let me know if anybody's got questions or ideas for how we can take this to the next level. That first piece caught some flak on Reddit for sounding sensationalist, which -- if you know me -- is pretty odd. For what it's worth, I stand by the whole thing, and think that the worst-(plausible)-case scenarios here are Really That Bad.
