Hey I know not everyone is polictical but I feel once again an issues I feel needs to bring up. Companies are trying to change the law so you can no longer own your hardware if it is made outside of the US, similar to the way software is only “licensed” and not purchased now. Legally this change could mean you would not have the right to modify your hardware, not have the right to install software that company forbid, and you definitely would no longer have the right to re-sell your hardware. If you think that sounds like a really bad idea why not follow the link below and spread the word.

Have we seen Wren Attez before, somewhere?

I just noticed that Riddley imagines Ulric as snively whiplash X3

Love the work!

Maybe Ulric went vampire, then used the old 'till death do us part' loophole?

I think riddly is spot on, love the dialog also.

Riddly have pretty wild imagination. But even when she is telling truth, there are few possibilities how he can still exist. For example if you kill vampire, and he come to life later after hundred years or so, is his wife widow meanwhile?

I seriously doubt attez is dead, cwen's nowhere in sight

They don't seriously believe they get through with THAT, do they?! O.o Seems like they've got their own Attez family in command.

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/12/scotus-first-sale/?utm_source=Contextly&utm_medium=RelatedLinks&utm_campaign=Previous -- gives a little information about the case with Costco buying watches from an unauthorized seller in Europe, then getting sued for reselling them in the US. I wonder if anything was done about the people in Europe who sold them in the first place. And how they got them, were they authentic watches from that company?

Looks like old Ulric finally married his female equivalent.

I read over the First Sale Copyright doctrine, and it looks like you can sell your computer/etc that was made in another country if whoever you bought it from in the US had the OK to sell it to you in the first place. If it was sold to you legally within the US, then you can legally sell it again. However, I know a guy who bought a car engine from Japan. He installed it in his car and sold the car maybe a year later. He'd probably illegally sold the engine, because he didn't ask permission from whoever in Japan owned the copyright.
