 [offtopic]Yeah, I don't get where people think the Mafia is dead - the Gambinis have probably been nailed these days, but Triads, Yakuza, Solsnetskaya, etcetera still flourish.[/offtopic]

This is old news, everyone knows the ELUA prohibits resale - something which in itself should be against the law, there should be some rights given to consumers regarding fair use and the right to transfer or sell a licence. I made a thread about this awhile a go but no one seemed to care.

Why would we care? I'd bet that most of the folks here use either Linux, one of the *BSDs, or Mac OS X. We simply don't have these problems. MS can do whatever the hell they like with their EULAs. I don't have any MS soft running here.

Aloone_Jonez:
It was more than just MS, I talked about copyright in general and how companies shouldn't be allowed to abuse it, remember MS aren't the only guilty ones.

Everyone should be to have the right to resell or transfer a license to another party/piece of hardware and make a backup copy, the only exemtion I would make is for firmware on ROMs. Of course others might disagree and want to abolish pay per use/copying licences but I think this would swing too far in the rights of the consumer.
