Re: For Sale: Stedman's February 2008

But if you bought it from Stedman's, paid the price, and it's still in the
shrinkwrap...

Yes, they can claim that the seller is not legally allowed to sell it, and
if it's their product, Ebay does what they say. If the software was sold
as part of the paper dictionary, the licensing agreement may state that it
cannot be sold separately.

I doubt the computer magazines would be happy with people selling the CDs
of commercial software that is offered free to the subscribers by some
special deal, also.

And I believe M$ was the entity that made all the OEM software sellers
include qualifying hardware to be able to sell OEM software.

I don't understand HOW Stedman's can take anything off e-bay??? I can see
why they would not WANT it sold on e-bay (obviously they want someone to
buy it from them), but I suppose that would be true of any company. Do
they contact e-bay and force them to take it off? If they can do that,
then I would think Microsoft, etc, could do the same. I don't get it.
