I've been having to try really hard to not get all up in people's faces with a lot of the shitty Government's decisions like NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, etc. over the last couple of years, but here's another one that will affect everyone, especially those of us that sell shit online.

Evidently, if the Supreme Court supports prior rulings, you could only sell something that you've already purchased to someone else "IF" you've gotten permission from each copyright holder used to make said product.

Can you say cluster fuck if they tried to enforce this?

Read the petition site:
YOU'VE BEEN OWNED | Don't Let Copyright Trolls Steal Our Property Rights!

Do you really own the smartphone or computer you’re using to read this? If you sold your books, would you be breaking the law? A federal court in New York says you would be, even if you legally paid for and bought them.

It's unbelievable, but trademark and copyright holders really are trying to use a legal loophole to take away your right to sell things that you own: Please add your name at right to fight back.

Public interest advocates are taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court, and Demand Progress is joining up with a coalition of groups -- including many of those that came together to kill SOPA -- to support the rights of ordinary Internet users and everyday consumers.

We are working to defend a long-standing principle known as the "First-Sale Doctrine." This common-sense rule gives us the right to sell most property we own, but big businesses have been trying to chip away at out our rights in the courts. If the Supreme Court supports the lower court’s decision, we won't really “own” anything if any part of it was made in a different country. And practically anything you own -- from your iPod to your house -- could have been made abroad, in whole or in part.

If only everyone would've gotten behind Ron Paul and the liberty movement, rather than signing these stupid fucking petitions that do nothing but cause the politicians and their corporate collaborators to back off for a couple of months until they can rebrand their efforts and push them through after the initial fight has been "won" by the public.

I'm amazed people truly do not see where we are headed. This shit is no joke.. Drop the conspiracy theorist bull shit labels that you've been conditioned to use and see the big picture. It is literally going to crush the economic liberties and futures of most on this forum, and without doubt, their progeny. We are headed for full on corporate fascism and it is not going to be a good life for most of us. 5/10/20 years.. I'm not sure when, but it's coming.

This is why I get so disgusted when I see people hating on those that stand up for their rights big or small... Like all of the incompetents who laugh at LukeP for backing RP so hard... or those of who thought it was stupid that the guy stood up against the cops to fight for his right to openly bare arms without being questioned... Or those that thought it was stupid that one of the forum members refused to answer an unconstitutional census. Or those who think making any effort at all politically is a waste of effort and time and justify it with some philosophical bullshit.. Or those that will ridicule this post.. It's ALL interconnected... EVERY small acquiescence contributes to the ultimate outcome of economic hardship and complete loss of personal freedoms. Those on the other end of the battle are fully aware of this fact and that's why they're winning. Fuck, maybe they're smarter and deserve to win, survival of the fittest I guess.

/rant... fucking tired of my right to live and thrive being attacked from all angles.

Oh fuck, has anyone ever thought the reason things are declining is because people spend all their energy complaining about the end of the world?

Intel isn't going to sue you because you sold a laptop on CraigsList, so don't worry about.

Oh fuck, have you ever considered that you are 100% wrong and entirely missing the point?

1. correct me if I am wrong but Ron Pauls main stance on corporations is to d nothing and not get involved. This would royally fuck people in the long run who do not have a voice and cannot stand up for themselves financially against these large corporations.

2. The guy in the video with the GUN out is in fact a DOUCHEBAG, not because he had the gun, not because he did not give his information and not because he was a condescending prick. The reason he is, is that he has multiple encounters with the cops doing these things and records it for his own sick, twisted, look at me I am a bad ass and can talk shit to cops and get away with it. Yes, he has a right to not give certain tidbits of information. Knowing these facts and excising them just to be a DICK, well makes you a dick.

3. The whole unconstitutional census is a load of shit and you know it. You think they use this information to illegally track you and do shit. The government as well as most corporations already know who you are, what you do, what you like to do, what you want to do, how much you make, how you make it, where you make it, why you make it, and so on and so forth. The whole point of the census is to help people and the person who would come to your door is just trying to earn a few dollars making a living. Why should you give them a hard time. If you are uncomfortable answering the question then don't answer them, or tell them whatever the fuck you want. Giving them a hard time is just not fair.



Now you did say someone would pick apart your posts. Here is the thing, in political and ideological situations. People will never see eye to eye. You think we should not have things, you think things are being taken from you, you think every gov agency is set forth to fuck you over. Some think the exact opposite of you and that is in fact what can make this country great. Opinions that vary to collectively make decisions for the betterment of out nation as a whole.
 
Just read about this shit. I'm really pissed off at losing one liberty after another and seeing this country go down the fucking drain. Even though the Olympics will soon be upon us, I couldn't care less because there's nothing to be proud of anymore. Everything here is turning into a nightmare.

We're not there yet but the evil people of the world are working on making it a reality. They have all the brain-dead fucks out there who have their heads in the sand, who still believe this is a great country, that it's normal to be molested before you go on a plane and that cancer causing chemicals in their food is no big deal.

I could go post the above article on Facebook for the next 3 days and probably wouldn't get 1 comment about it. People are just too stupid/lazy/blase to see what's happening, let alone do anything about it.
 
What does this have to do with liberty? In fact if you're in the "liberty movement" shouldn't you be in favor of the right for companies to set their own rules for the resale of their items? To me it seems like the first-sale doctrine (clause that allows you to resell stuff) was were the government stepped over the line and intruded into free markets.

If tomorrow I create moneybot v1.0 and sell it for $10,000 in the United States but realize that the price point is too high for India so I sell it there for $1,000 instead in order to attract more sales and state that moneybot licenses from India can't be resold in the United States isn't that my right as a private company? And if customers don't like my requirements they can simply not buy it or buy a similar product from another competitor?
