Super User slonezp Posted October 5, 2012 Super User Posted October 5, 2012 EVERYTHING manufactured would have to have some type of a title that would allow the transfer or sale..Can't see this happening. Quote
llPa1nll Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah, I don't see this holding up. This kinda reminds me of another thing I find oddly funny. Is that you buy a CD or DVD you can't send the files to friends and family, for free. However you can resell the CD or DVD to a store and have them resell it, with the original artist and RIAA not seeing any of that money. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 5, 2012 Super User Posted October 5, 2012 More sensationalism by the media. They gotta sell ad space too, I guess. So we're clear, an iPhone or another electronic device itself is not protected under copyright. Just the printed manual and the software installed is. Quote
