<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3524909, member: 76194&quot;]A book becomes personal property once sold, and as your personal property it can be legally re-sold over and over again. What you can&#039;t do is reproduce the text (ie. copy) without the author&#039;s permission, as you only bought the right to use the copy you paid for. Copyright law covers everything else other than your right to the copy you paid for, which you can dispose of as you see fit.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like when you buy a car. Once you purchase the vehicle, the auto company can&#039;t come to you and say &#039;<i>Excuse me, but this is our car and you can&#039;t do anything to it unless we say so, so we order you to only use X brand for your tires and Y brand for your windshield washer fluid. </i>&#039; Not only is that not legal, but it is also anathema to our consumer society. Pretty much the only company that gets away with that is Apple, and only because their consumers are brainless zombies who are happy to have the company tell them they can&#039;t repair the product they paid for, or modify said product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
