Reselling used items is a tradition in the United States that almost rises to the level of a sporting event held in many garages. But if you’re thinking about adding e-books to your inventory of used items at your next garage sale, you may be headed for trouble.
On Slashdot, “Nate the greatest” wrote a post about how a new e-book resale website, Tom Kabinet, is having legal troubles.
Nate noted that in the United States, it is legal to resell MP3s on Redigi and as a result of a 2012 decision in UsedSoft v. Oracle, downloaded software can be resold in Europe.
