Most content industries (definitely including movies, tv, books, music, and games) vary between “dislike” and “loathing” of secondary markets, because it gets them nothing and costs them a “potential sale”, even more than piracy, because the person paying for a “used” copy has demonstrated that they’re willing to part with money for the product.
Where the right to resale still exists, the way to bet is that it exists because of major lawsuits that the industry has lost (or “lost”). Don’t worry about the shareholders, though - they’re still chipping away!
(Damn, I’m gloomy lately. Sorry.)
