Comic strip with 5 panels. Gabe Newell from Valve Software says "I made a controller that screams" to an engineer or scientist. They look at the steam controller screaming. The other person asks "Why?". Gabe looks perplexed in the next two panels.

Yes that's why you can buy software and sell the computer with the licenses following along it, assuming you don't keep copies separately

    Yeah... virtually every software license disagrees with you. You can't transfer a steam account, you (according to Microsoft) can't even transfer the OS license.
    Personally I agree that we should be able to do so, but that exactly what is being argued - publishers are ignoring first sale doctrine
