But that's pure license/contract breach claim, not copyright infringement. Consider also http://www.citizen.org/litigation/forms/cases/CaseDetails.cfm?cID=437 "Public Citizen represents an eBay vendor in a case against Autodesk, a California-based software company. ... Although Autodesk claims that its shrink-wrap license prohibits resale of its products, Public Citizen argues that the contract language is unlawful under the Copyright Act, which guarantees that the owner of a copyrighted product can resell that product without permission. " Well, Public Citizen won! ;-) Oh, BTW, "Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead. But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
