Whoa.  I didn't get that out of reading my warranty.  I mean, once you 
buy the disk, it's personal property, isn't it?  Like a book, which you
can sell, trade, give away, destroy, or set on a shelf and allow to collect
dust.  I can understand that the warranty might only cover the original
owner, but that's the same for a lot of other products.

Should I have cross-posted this to net.legal, I wonder?
