Sell Old Electronics
The Supreme Court case concerns something called the "first-sale
doctrine" in copyright law. Simply put, the doctrine means that you can
buy and sell the stuff you purchase. Even if someone has copyright over
some piece of your stuff, you can sell it without permission from the
copyright holder because the copyright holder can only control the
"first-sale." The Supreme Court has recognized this doctrine since 1908.
To use a classic example, imagine you buy a novel by Sabina Murray.
Sabina owns the copyright to the book, so you can't make a copy of the
book. But you bought a copy of the book, and can sell the copy to anyone
who'll pay you for it. You can sell it to a neighbor, to a fellow
student, or to someone else on Craigslist or on eBay.
