Thanks to a provision in the 1976 Copyright Act, U.S. law allows the first purchaser of copyrighted material (a book, CD, etc) to subsequently re-sell that item without the copyright owner's consent. In this age of online distribution and the budding, halting attempts at legitimizing it, is the the right to re-sell going to be upheld?

"Ever paid for winzip???"
Why would I pay for something I don't use?
tar, gzip and bzip2 are GPL.
But if I were to take complete leave of my senses and use windows, there is always 7-zip, which is also GPL, and does not require 5MB in size to unzip a file.
