It is now officially legal to resell licenses to digital products in Europe.
The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that software publishers can't prevent consumers from reselling licenses for digital products.
The court's decision was that, contrary to what software publishers have claimed in license agreements, when a customer buys software they own a copy of the software, and that regardless of the license agreement, that means they can't oppose the consumer's ability to resell that copy.
The court further ruled that restricting the consumer's ability to resell digital products would "go beyond what is necessary to safeguard the specific subject-matter of the intellectual property concerned."
