A very simple question for you. How often have you resold software that you legally purchased? Often enough, right? Well, if it's up to Autodesk, the company behind AutoCAD, you will no longer be allowed to resell your software. Update: As it turns out, the matter has already been resolved: Autodesk lost. A win for all of us.

*spoiler alert*
Autodesk loses. Judge tosses the license/EULA argument, and rules under doctrine of first sale. If it looks like a product sale, and smells like a product sale, then it is a product sale.
This case was ruled on more than a year ago in Vernor's favor, and unless this signals an appeal to the ninth circuit court, of which there is no reference, this article is a wee bit stale.
