Legality of Renting Video Games?

Posted by Cliff on from the starting-your-own-renting-service dept.

Scott McChesney asks: "Where I live seems to be filled with Gamers but there are almost no places that rent console games. This got me thinking about opening one of my own but I have no clue about the licensing of such a thing. X-Box games all say on the back that buying the game does not give you the ability to rent it. I'm wondering what one has to do to be able to legally rent out video games?"

    Hey come on, if he didn't mention it, he obviously assumed that the entire world uses the law that applies to him. Ergo, he is american.
