Not true. Like I pointed out, when you buy a video you buy ONLY the
right to show that video in your own home. You do NOT buy the right to
resell it. You do NOT buy the right to make a profit off of it.

Nope. You broke the law with Windows, too. When you buy an upgrade you
get a cheaper price because you own a copy of the previous version. It
is illegal to sell a previous version unless you buy the FULL version
(NOT the upgrade) of the new product. The $89 upgrade does not entitle
you to sell the Microsoft product to someone else. I am very clear on
this because I have read the Microsoft Liscence Agreement dozens of
times. Perhaps you should read it and see what your real rights are.
