Yesteday European court issued press release regarding a Oracle vs UsedSoft court hearing.
In short European court has issued a directive under which you are legally allowed to resell your 'used' software license, this includes both physical licenses (i.e. DVD) and for content that is downloadable or any other way reachable/usable on the web.
Account reselling was always considered wrong/against EULA/bannable offence, but with this new directive, shouldn't it all change? I mean, at the end of the day, gaming account is nothing more than a software usage license (or am I wrong here)?
