eBay has set up a petition:  ebaymainstreet.com/news-events/citizens-for-ownership-rights-collecting-petition-signatures?utm_campaign=recruiting&utm_source=ebay-us-newsletter&utm_medium=enewsletter


Music and video industry is all over this case now.  They funny people.

First they say we aren't buying a product, we're buying a  licence to use said product.
If so, then we are allowed to load music or what not on multiple devices.
So they then say no, it's a virtual product (the idea behind the "you wouldn't shoplift a CD, would you" campaign), its the same as a physical CD. Have to use it the same as if it were a hard copy

Cool, means I can sell it as long as I only sell once and don't keep copy.

Nope.  Now they back stepped again and are saying its not like a physical CD!

WTF?  Your commercial just said it WAS just like a CD.  Make up your mind!
