Microsoft Software for Sale, Slightly Used

Alsee writes "The Register reports that recent UK business Discount-Licensing.com has been having booming growth reselling pre-owned Microsoft software licenses 20-50% below retail, after spotting the opportunity in Microsoft's licensing terms and Britain's insolvency laws for insolvent and downsizing businesses. Sorry, no discount personal OS resales, corporate bulk resales only."

Minor drinks booze - people might die. Unlicensed driver on the loose - people might die. Someone sells a used copy of Windows XP - microsoft's profit margins are nibbled into. There is a really, really big difference. If you can't see that you're either deluded or a bullshitter and I pray to god for the sake of 'society' that you're the latter.

We're supposed to just accept that governments rob us of our freedom in their interests? We're being wanton individualists with no regard for the 'greater good' if we get pissed off that the laws of our land are being perverted by the cryptobribery of lobbyists like Abramoff? We're supposed to just bend over and take it when some senator with a back pocket full of "donations" decides that our rights are inferior to that of some corporation or other? If that's the case then fuck society, fuck the greater good and fuck you.
