That's not all. The same arguments could be used to prevent the sale of used DVDs, CDs and even books.

The next time you buy a book, better make sure it doesn't have a EULA hidden in the packaging.

In Texas, the pawn shop owners tried to put the used book/dvd/CD/record stores out of business (or at least in a sad state) by requiring them to “hold” all used merchandise for 30 days before stocking it on the shelves as inventory and checking with all police departments for reports of stolen items (also getting fingerprints and contact information on all persons selling used books, etc.).
