Court of Justice of the EU: Digital software licences resalable
Quote:
An author of software cannot oppose the resale of his ‘used’ licences allowing the use of his programs downloaded from the internet

The exclusive right of distribution of a copy of a computer program covered by such a licence is exhausted on its first sale

So basicly now software bought on line can be resold. Can't say if this will apply to other media, but selling your books might be possible in the future... Not sure how this can realy work out for larger services, but atleast it's a start...
