There was a physical thing being sold and it was produced by or at the authority
of the copyright owner. Another thought around that same subject. When I buy a
DVD, it has all these notices about it being a copyright violation to
"perform in public" or some other uses of the DVD. With the first
sale doctrine upheld in court aren't those restriction notices deceptive? As
long as I don't make a copy of the DVD can't I do anything I want with it?
Looks like there needs to be more clarity around the whole mess.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I read one about being allowed to resell software about 5 years ago, and I am
75% certain it was in a German court.
However I also beleive to have read a judgement not being allowed to re-sell in
another country (probably France, 50% sure)
It had consequences for sharing and renting of licenses, where big corporatons
with departments in multiple timezones could use a license server to make sure
that only every license was used only one at the time, but could be used in
Asia, Europe and the US as needed, on the same day.
(24 hour license = 3x 8 hour workday)
