Right to sell

Postby BlueLight » Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:00 pm

Please comment on what you think of the subject and i would love for you people to sign up. I do think it's USA only.

"You've been owned!" That's what product manufacturers are hoping the Supreme Court will tell Americans this fall.

The Court will decide if you have the right to resell the very things that YOU OWN -- your clothes, your iPod, even your house:

Please click here for more details, and tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we own.

This case is flying under the radar, so please use these links to get your friends involved and help us fight back:

If you're already on Twitter, click here to tweet about the campaign: Tweet


Product manufacturers are trying to take away your right to resell items that are manufactured abroad, in whole or in part. In this globalized world, that's almost anything you own. Today we're launching YouveBeenOnwed.org to help Americans fight back.

If the Supreme Court rules with manufacturers, we might have to say goodbye to Ebay, Craigslist, and the old-fashioned American yard sale.

Manufacturers will have an extra incentive to off-shore jobs. Re-use and recycling efforts will be undermined, harming the environment.

Your pockets will be empty, and your basement will be a mess of junk you don't want or need:

Please tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we own -- just click here.

I got one good response, which is the same as for SOPA and PIPA. If any of these pass, I'm outta here.

This has nothing to do with the internet itself.

One question. When they for example make there iPad or clothes - do not they use some thing that they buy and can not sell by them self ? If they do then WTF ? If they do but they "change it in process" - can we than write on iPad by Pen for example Fucking iPad - will this modefication be enough to letowner sell it ?

If it do not - then they really try to put themselves before the law :lol: What will be with old things that was bought without this law - can they be selled ;) If they do how will be possible to prove that some thing is not old and can be selled. If they do not - them it is like stealing - becouse when we bought old thing we buy the rights to sell it ;) if so they are thief :mrgreen:

Corruption is so corruption :lol:

I've been insulted and now all I can do is give internet death glares. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
HA! take THAT! :evil: :evil: :evil:
...and THAT! :? :| :(
This isn't doing anything is it?
...and now I'm stuck with a crappy Chinese knock off of something I have no clue about... and it's imaginary so I can't even try and see if I can get a refund.
