German Court Forbids Resale of Valve Games

Posted by timothy on from the einmal-und-nur-einmal dept.

sfcrazy writes "A German court has dismissed a 'reselling' case in favor of Valve Software, the maker of Steam OS. German consumer group Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (vzbv) had filed a complaint against Valve as Valve's EULA (End User License Agreement) prohibits users from re-selling their games. What it means is that German users can't resell their Steam Games."

    I have to edit out "beta" many times in the address bar and enter in "www" just to get it to a functional state where I may view the summary and the comments.

    This is the final straw. Goodbye Slashdot.

    welcome to our new altslashdot this week we will be collecting suggestions for a new name. A submission form will be soon up on the website. After a week we will have voting. The submissions will be kept secret to prevent namesquatters. In two weeks we will have a domain with a name for our new news site. Bruce Perens is with us!

    Do the Germans have a single, very long, really angry-sounding, word for 'this software is licensed, not sold'? Inquiring minds want to know.
