Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: LEGALITY of purchasing Exam Materials USED
You're assuming what's right and reasonable is protected by law. That's =
not the case with software, and the situation is getting worse. Take the =
time to get familiar with UCITA, a horrible law recently enacted in =
Maryland and being lobbied hard in other states by the software industry. =
Among other things it completely absolves software manufacturers from =
liability for defective product, allows software licenses to legally =
forbid public criticism of the product (including product reviews in trade =
mags), and allows software vendors to change the terms of the license =
without warning even after you've bought the software (excuse me...bought =
the software LICENSE). Terrible for the consumer, great for the software =
vendors - until they realize that they also are customers of other =
vendors. Have a nice day!

If it so with the books, I think there shouldn't be any harm doing so with
the software.=20
If you have used a software, you can destroy its copy on your machine and sell the original CD/books etc. to anyone else or even burn it. Received on Fri Dec 01 2000 - 08:26:41 CST
