"(f) The privileges prescribed by subsections (a) and (c) apply where the owner of a particular copy or phonorecord of a work in a digital or other non-analog format, or any person authorized by such owner, sells or otherwise disposes of the work by means of a transmission to a single recipient, provided that the owner does not retain his or her copy or phonorecord in a retrievable form and that the copy or phonorecord is sold or otherwise disposed of in its original format.. " Please tell me I'm wrong here - but - doesn't this act state that the owner of the original 'software' has the right to sell/give away their copy as long as it is in 1) original format 2) to a single recipient. If so - please tell me how Curious Labs are getting away with the Ebay scandal? In where they have removed sales of Poser from EBay, and contacted the people in question stating they are not allowed to sell their software. Or how can certain members of the market place get away with telling people they can not give away the products they buy, or give them to people as gifts? SteffyZZ comes to mind here... Arn't they breaking the law?
