Just as you do not have the right to sell yourself into slavery, you should also not have the right to buy something you don't actually own after the completion of the "sale." Software licensing agreements are an horrific perversion of the legal system, especially the doctrine of first sale...and this push to make even tangible goods subject to similar "agreements" is going to bite us all very hard in the ass. Either you own something or you do not. If you own it, it's nobody else's business what you do with it. If somebody else can tell you what you can and can't do with it, you don't own it. So why did you give them all that money, again...? b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
