| 519212 | 2007-01-26 07:14:00 | This is interesting: "The judge, in the case Adobe vs Softman heard in the Central District of California, has ruled that consumers can resell bundled software, no matter what the EULA, or End User License Agreement, stipulates. Specifically, the ruling decrees that software purchases be treated as sales transactions, rather than explicit license agreements. In other words, consumers should have the same rights they'd enjoy under existing copyright legislation when buying a CD or a book. They can't make copies, but they can resell what they own". Don't know if there has been a case in NZ though?? Here's the source: www.theregister.co.uk |

Thats how it is with Nero, when you buy a CD Writer. The software isn't worth anything without the burner with it. I am not sure it would be the same with a scanner, as you need the scanner to use the photo editing software. |

| 519216 | 2007-01-26 09:18:00 | Not always, I have a dozen Nero's cd's that work on anything, I just yank one out whenever I need to install it or if someone I know is looking for a copy.All were supplied with drives as OEM software. | Metla (12) | ||

| 519218 | 2007-01-26 11:27:00 | The Nero burning software I got with my CD writer about 3 years ago has worked on every CD writer I have added to my old computer for testing purposes or just because the old one went faulty and I tried three others before I was satisfied. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 519219 | 2007-01-26 12:06:00 | The Nero burning software I got with my CD writer about 3 years ago has worked on every CD writer I have added to my old computer for testing purposes or just because the old one went faulty and I tried three others before I was satisfied. I'm curious. Was your cd writer you got with the software present in the system when you tried the other drives. |

| 519220 | 2007-01-26 12:25:00 | No, it failed and I tried 3 other drives on appro from a computer shop, I swopped the broken one out. Subsequently I have used the same software on another computer with another writer, because I was used to using the Nero Express part. Incidentely that broken writer worked perfectly without a failed burn for more than a year, then one day I used a RW disk for the first time as an experiment and the burner choked with a message about "too much power needed" or words to that effect and from then on would not read or write, it also smelled of burnt components. I immediately got another 3 drives to try out which is how it all came about. I don't use RW anymore. |

| 519221 | 2007-01-26 12:51:00 | As far as I'm concerned that's just ink. If the guy didn't sign anything to agree not to re-sell it then what law is he bound to to not on-sell the product. That would be an interesting legal concept--you must sign a statement aggreeing to be subject to a law before it applies to you. I like the concept, but, unfortunately, it doesn't exist today. |
