Re: imac for sale
Ronni Just remove the offending posts, I will remove software from computer before sale, also if I buy a software program, then as far as I'm concerned I own it I will do with it whatever I think fit that includes putting it on as many computers that will allow it to install run. Derek On 19/06/2012, at 1:47 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Derek, How I feel has nothing to do with this at all. Software is never sold, Its always licensed! You get a copy of it and a license to use it. This is not new, its the way all proprietary software has been sold since the dawn of personal computing. The law says that anyone who purchases a copy of software has the right to load that copy onto a single computer and to make another copy for archival purposes only or, in limited circumstances, for purposes only of maintenance or repair. It is illegal to use that software on more than one computer or to make or distribute copies of that software for any other purpose unless specific permission has been obtained from the software publisher. If you pirate software, you may face not only a civil suit for damages and other relief, but criminal liability as well, including fines and jail terms. We have Apple Representatives who sometimes read our mailing list as I've been contacted offlist by them on occasion (to help a situation). We would not want them to think we as a group condone breaking copyright laws!

Thank you Daniel and Ronni for very clear expositions of what one can and cannot do under differing conditions. It is very helpful to those of us who are less knowledgeable.

I'm am upset with his attitude towards me, and now towards Daniel. I'm only the messenger here, doing what I do for WAMUG, giving informed and correct information to the group. Derek has put himself and WAMUG in a delicate position. He has again posted on a public mailing list after being warned he was contravening copyright laws and could cause repercussions for WAMUG. As I mentioned previously Apple Reps troll our mailing list quite often. I have had very good feedback from them as they do appreciate what we are doing on our mailing list. We can not appear as a group to condone software piracy of any kind. Daniel and I put in a lot of time to support people on WAMUG mailing list, and only ever give helpful advice and correct information in a very friendly and professional manner. Like Daniel I will not be having anything more to say on this matter. I have done what was the correct and right thing to do and that was inform Derek and members of the legalities.

Hi Derek, You should not leave software installed on your computer that you don't legally own. If you are selling a machine to someone without the media to reinstall and properly own that app, what happens if they have a crash or need to reinstall the software? Do the right thing by making really sure the buyer understands exactly what they are getting. Software is protected by federal copyright law. The iMac should be completely erased and a clean installation of the OS (operating system). We have given instructions on WAMUG how to do get a computer ready for sale only a few days ago.

Re: imac for sale
Hi Derek, How I feel has nothing to do with this at all. Software is never sold, Its always licensed! You get a copy of it and a license to use it. This is not new, its the way all proprietary software has been sold since the dawn of personal computing. The law says that anyone who purchases a copy of software has the right to load that copy onto a single computer and to make another copy for archival purposes only or, in limited circumstances, for purposes only of maintenance or repair. It is illegal to use that software on more than one computer or to make or distribute copies of that software for any other purpose unless specific permission has been obtained from the software publisher. If you pirate software, you may face not only a civil suit for damages and other relief, but criminal liability as well, including fines and jail terms. We have Apple Representatives who sometimes read our mailing list as I've been contacted offlist by them on occasion (to help a situation). We would not want them to think we as a group condone breaking copyright laws!

I was just thinking that someone could take advantage of the installed software for as long as they were able to if when it no longer became viable then they hadn't lost anything because they hadn't payed for it it wasn't theirs in the first place, I would just be loaning it to them while it's working, just as it was loaned to me, by the legal owner. If anyone who buys it feels the same way you do, then surely they are free to uninstall it.

If you are selling a machine to someone without the media to reinstall and properly own that app, what happens if they have a crash or need to reinstall the software? Do the right thing by making really sure the buyer understands exactly what they are getting. Software is protected by federal copyright law. The iMac should be completely erased and a clean installation of the OS (operating system). We have given instructions on WAMUG how to do get a computer ready for sale only a few days ago.

Explanation: The software discs are owned by a Wamug friend, so are not mine to sell, the software is loaded on the machine it is free, to whoever buys the computer it is all fully functional. All I am asking is a fair price for the computer as I bought it with only the stuff on it that is supplied by Apple. The remote controller the battery charger + rechargeable batteries are also free with the computer. If you have any other questions please ask.
