    I played thousands of games and never have seen an agreement which allows you to re-sell it !!!

    "The amendment of the United States Code, Chapter 17, codified as 17 USC 117, permits the owner of a copy of a computer program to make copies necessary for the use or backup of a computer program.

    Until 117 was enacted, the very act of copying computer software from a storage device into temporary memory (which is necessary to run the software) may have been prohibited in the United States. Typically, a proprietary software license agreement will interpret 117 in plain English. For example: "You may use the software on one computer, and you may make an additional copy to be used only for backup or archival purposes. You may not otherwise copy, modify [...] the software."

    not a word about E-bay and such

    WHEN YOU BUY THE CD ITS ONLY THE RIGHT TO INSTALL AND PLAY YOU
    PURCHASE . THERE'S NOT A WORD IN AGREEMENT ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO SECOND-HAND SELLING IT.
    Do you have such right -I'm not sure?

    Personally, before we find some other info,I consider on-line selling of 'MM 6' as an act of ... corruption(that's a softer word for thie...).

    P.S. I hope you understand that its not personal ,but matter of principle.
