The right of First Sale (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_sale" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_sale</a>) says (in short) that if you bought it, you can resell it.<br><br><br>Technically, one or two court cases seem to suggest that *maybe* you can write a license such that users have to give up that right, but 1) that's horseshit, and 2) it might not hold up if challenged again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 11:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[So, as far as reselling your VC titles, while it seems reasonable that through the First-sale doctrine you will be able to transfer your VC titles, you may find it difficult, near impossible to make a "Lawfully Made Copy" of the work. Because it is invisible information, it is still against the law to make a copy of it, because there is no way you are getting permission from Nintendo. You have two options:<br><br>1. Find a way to transfer your VC title, you would no longer have it, and your friend would. This would be legal.<br><br>2. Find a way to transfer your VC title while keeping a copy. This would be illegal, but I haven't ever heard of Nintendo doing house raids.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bryan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 5th 2006 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm impressed with the sheer volume of photos you took of your tv]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Owen V]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 10:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[anyone else find it odd that the date on the legend of zelda is 1986 to *2003*?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 10:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[It seems to be the Gamecube version that they released as Zelda: Collectors Edition, just checked my copy and it shows 1986-2003.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Psycho Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2006 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the walkthrough and pictures. :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 10:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would be interested to know - I assume you *don't* need a billing address to redeem a card.  I'm thinking of those of us who, somehow entirely legally, may end up with a US model (or Japanese model, preferably, assuming it does English) machine without quite having a credit card billed in that country.  I'm thinking of finding a friend in that country with a paypal account who can go buy cards and email on the numbers...  I'm assuming that a card bought in Japan won't do anything useful with a US machine, and vice versa...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 11:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[sweet!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 10:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[How long did it take to download Zelda and over what kind of connection?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[battamer Blue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 18th 2006 10:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wii store now open for business]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/wii-store-now-open-for-business/</guid><description><![CDATA[Err, slight typo on the billing info screen.
