Even Century Old Records Had Restrictive Licensing

natch writes "While rummaging through some old records at an antique store I found some turn-of-the-century Victor Record Company pressings. The label on the back laid out the terms of use, something similar to an EULA. In today's modern world of RIAA lawsuits and DRM, it's interesting to note that similar tactics have been in use by record companies for over a century, restricting your right to use what you purchased. The label clearly states that unless the record was sold for at least one dollar, there is no license to use it."

    Mac users are very stupid. They suck on every dick they see. They have rotten teeth and their lifestyle makes them stink very bad. Worst of all, they hate freedom. Truly disgusting.

    Apple for subhumans.

    Hmm, I'd venture a guess that the reason you haven't heard of it is because you're a dumbass stinky canadian. Fucking pompous assholes. Never have I met a Canadian that was worth a shit or that wasn't a complete asshole. But I love your sluts. Everytime I go to St. Catherines, I dogfuck as many as I can. And of course they like it. They love that American dick. You probably do too, faggot.
