> It seems to me that the first-sale doctrine is definitely in danger (if EULAs haven't already effectively doomed it.) Which is itself odd, given that the First Sale doctrine was a judicial attempt to kill an early attempt at putting something like a EULA into a book. Granted, the book was trying to set its own minimum price, but by doing so on copyright grounds, it would have allowed a lot more than that if the Supreme Court hadn't struck it down. But I agree with you: the more control someone can take of your digital life, the more rent they can collect. In that respect, First Sale is a key roadblock.
