That's not the problem. I suggest looking at the history of Autodesk's attacks on their own customers, and the way they inveigled yet another ignorant judge to rule in their favor against every software PURCHASER. You could buy a shrink-wrapped box of software from Autodesk, never open it, but then be prevented from selling it to someone else to recoup your costs if you ended up not using it. I know because they pulled this shit on me when I put an unopened copy of Inventor or 3DS Max on eBay. Their lawyers contacted eBay and threatened them, so of course eBay instantly folded and took down the listing. This violated my rights under the Doctrine of First Sale: "The first sale doctrine, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 109, provides that an individual who knowingly purchases a copy of a copyrighted work from the copyright holder receives the right to sell, display or otherwise dispose of that particular copy, notwithstanding the interests of the copyright owner." I had the last laugh, however. Meanwhile, Autodesk also attacked a kid who had put up a 3DS Max fan site, offering tutorials and tips. They seized his domain. Autodesk was the vanguard of anti-consumer, trash software and media companies that have continued to take advantage of hopelessly ignorant judges and legislators to rip people off. - former Autodesk employee
