Why is not possible to sell digital games and movies that you own to others like physical media?
In: 66
Depending on the legal jurisdiction you live in, you might not own the software even if you buy a physical copy. All you own is a disc and the right to use a copy of the software for personal use (referred to as a license.) Violating the end-user license agreement means the company has the option of terminating your license, meaning *technically* it becomes software piracy for you to use the software.
Of course, some more consumer-friendly countries have decided that EULAs are complete bullshit and that if you pay for software, that copy is yours no matter what. It’s a shame that logic isn’t universal.
