eBay Seller Sues Autodesk for $10M

I'm right behind him. Autocad are sharks for trying to pass off that shrink wrap con as an agreement. It's nothing less than fraud.

I'll buy that....

I think a good question would be what if it was a movie or song, instead of software. Mindful that for some reason people are more understanding of paying for a luxury than a perceived necessity. If you were selling a copy, or even giving away a copy of a Metallica song, instead of AutoCad would that not be the same thing (except metallica has not special use in business or life, just a luxury).

"The right to sell an item that has been legally purchased is protected under copyright law." That means if you legally buy a product you can legally sell it too. We are not talking about pirated stuff, this guy bought and paid for it, same as you would if it was a song or a film. Otherwise, if Ford, GM, Boeing et al were to go along with the Autocad crap line of thinking they would have us all buying new stuff without being able to trade in our old stuff.

I quit using AutoCAD 10 years ago. Why is anyone still using it. Obviously, this guy wanted to get rid of his.
