Demon-Haunted World
History repeats itself.  Car makers tried to lock out third party parts decades ago.  Claimed you only had a license to operate the vehicle, no ownership.  Music and movie companies argued against First Sale doctrine similarly.<p>Courts wouldn't have it.  They will stop this too.  Digital property will be declared property, not licenses.  No limits on resale transfer or rental and the like.  Companies will howl like stuck pigs.  And it will benefit them, as well as consumers, tremendously.
