Interesting timing… A coincidence? http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/02/pre-owned-music-lawsuit-2/ > Among others, the legal questions before the judge included the first-sale > doctrine, the legal theory that people in lawful possession of copyrighted > material have the right to sell it. Yes, it’s about music, but the question would also fit for digitally downloaded software (when no hard copy i.e. installation media exists). http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/117405-redigi-case-heads-to-court-are- we-allowed-to-resell-our-digital-music-and-games-or-not Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t buy *a* *thing* that is sold without a media or printed envelope and I dislike anything without a printed manual. I’m still buying Audio CDs. I do use iTunes on the Cube and I even have an iTunes account, but since I only use ripped tracks (from the CDs) its sole purpose is to get the album covers downloaded. Am I a fossil of the pre-internet&pre-digital-content age?
