I've got to ask - it's the devil's advocate in me I suppose.



But, if I buy something legally - why can't I take it apart and sell the individual items legally? What the buyer does with it is their business - not mine. I have no control over what they do. Compare it to gun laws. An individual (Party A) can legally sell a gun to another individual (Party B). If Party B then uses that gun to commit a crime, it is not Party A's fault, unless Party B specifically said "I'm going to use this gun illegally" (or some variation thereof where there is no doubt to Party A that a crime will be committed).

The closest anyone has come with blaming Party A for Party B's crimes is when cities or individuals attempt to sue gun makers for making the gun available (in this case - that would be Microsoft).

People pay hundreds of dollars for little pieces of cardboard with pictures of baseball players - how is a COA any different? Unless I'm told that the buyer will be using the COA in a fraudulent manner, I should be able to sell the sticker legally.
