Testing out my new turntable with the worst possible test music.

Yes.

He's really anal about cable management.

Ah yes, the foreman showed up to keep you in line I see

Do you know someone who might only need a computer for light internet surfing and not much else? Could be a nice thing for example for an older family member with no gaming needs.

To be fair, Batman is a pretty sweet password.

For many years my grandmother used "Incorrect" as her password, because when she couldn't remember what the password was and put in the wrong password in a message would come up and say "your password is incorrect."  

The title of this thread is *incredibly* misleading.
 
As has been mentioned you buy a lisence to the software, *not* the software itself. Software is code and code is IP. It's no different than a book. When you buy a book you're buying an instance of that book. You aren't buying the book itself. You can't then go and make copies of that book or do other things that act against the book owners copyright, trademarks, or patents. Owning a copy of Red Fish Blue Fish doesn't mean you own Red Fish Blue Fish itself. You're buying the goods, not the IP associated with those goods.
 
*No* country equates selling a copy of a game/movie/music/book to selling the game/movie/music/book itself. Period. That would have massive sweeping consequences to other IP law and would defeat the whole point of IP law.
 
And before you say "well that's just semantics", yes. Yes it is. It's legal semantics and it's what these words mean in a context of ownership. At the end of the day all discussions of what a thing is are inherrently arguments of semantics so using that as a deflection is kinda silly.

Technically the "goods" are licenses, not games/software.
 
You OWN the license, not the underlying code.  The code IS the IP.
 
Also, modern licenses are not written as perpetual.  They are written as valid until the seller says they are not.  They can be revoked at any time.

You know what will change? Spoiler alert:
 
 

WHEN YOU SUDDENLY GET A REALLY BRIGHT IDEA!
