Okay I need to clarify what I said - I was not refering to goods sold on renderosity, which are extremely low priced. I was refering to software sold a high price (for example MS Office) which operates under the same terms. And no I do not agree with the sale or distribution of copies of software no matter what the price. I am merely refering to the resale of the original software AFTER I am finished with it. I agree the car analogy was misleading, however the comparison to the record industry was not. If you bought a CD and the record company told you that you could not sell on that CD should you wish to you would be upset. The selling on of a product once no longer used and the redistribution through copying are two seperate issues and should be dealt with as such. The second is already illegal. Calling the first illegal has not provented the second from happening.
