Your Right to Resell Your Own Stuff is in Peril

So selling your crap might be infringing on ones copyright outside the US?……… WTF!!

Another reason to be concerned about a second 0bama term. Do people realize he will more than likely, if re-elected, be appointing at least 2 more Justices to the Supreme Court! Ginsburg is on her way out and it’s safe to assume at least one more will go that could very well be a conservative leaning judge who could be the deciding factor on serious issues!

This in itself should be scaring the hell out of people. Unlike POTUS Supreme Court Justice appointments are for life NOT 4 four years! All you folks out there who are advocating you will go third party, write-in or not going to vote that hate Obamacare and all the other un-Constitutional attacks by this regime understand this right?

You do understand that even if his majesty is gone after a second term those who will carry on his legacy in the Judicial branch will remain!?

This is another reason why conservatives are adamant that a third party, write-in or no vote is a vote for the Emperor and his SCOTUS appointments. You understand this? Forget all the other reasons not to vote, sticking with your principles etc if this man get’s re-elected he will be appointing more justices to SCOTUS! The damage a liberal dominant SCOTUS will have cannot be undone. This nation will be haunted by his majesty long after he is gone, do you want that?

Please people for God’s sake WAKE THE HELL UP!!

Your right to resell your own stuff is in peril
It could become illegal to resell your iPhone 4, car or family antiques
By Jennifer Waters | MarketWatch

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Tucked into the U.S. Supreme Court’s agenda this fall is a little-known case that could upend your ability to resell everything from your grandmother’s antique furniture to your iPhone 4.

At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products.

Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court has recognized since 1908, you can resell your stuff without worry because the copyright holder only had control over the first sale.

Put simply, though Apple Inc. has the copyright on the iPhone and Mark Owen has it on the book “No Easy Day,” you can still sell your copies to whomever you please whenever you want without retribution.

That’s being challenged now for products that are made abroad, and if the Supreme Court upholds an appellate court ruling, it would mean that the copyright holders of anything you own that has been made in China, Japan or Europe, for example, would have to give you permission to sell it.

“It means that it’s harder for consumers to buy used products and harder for them to sell them,” said Jonathan Band, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of the American Library Association, the Association of College and Research Libraries and the Association for Research Libraries. “This has huge consumer impact on all consumer groups.”

Another likely result is that it would hit you financially because the copyright holder would now want a piece of that sale.

It could be your personal electronic devices or the family jewels that have been passed down from your great-grandparents who immigrated from Spain. It could be a book that was written by an American writer but printed and bound overseas, or an Italian painter’s artwork.…read more
