  3. Re:Personal vs Commercial use on Why You Should Care About the Supreme Court Case On Toner Cartridges (consumerist.com) · · Score: 2

    Despite what many bar-room lawyers think, doing it for yourself isn't a defense against patent infringement. The words are "Sell, make or use".

    Nobody is making imitation Lexmark cartridges. These cartridges have already been bought from Lexmark, at which point they're the customers' property. If you bought a car, you can sell it to someone else, you can pay whoever you like to repair or modify it, you can paint it luminous green. Why should this be different?

    Great for you. Not everyone is as awesomely brilliant as you. But that's their tough shit, right?

    P.S. Still working on government gigs where you don't have to compete against H1Bs and offshore workers whose cost of living is 1/10th of yours?
