Your right to resell your own stuff is in peril

It could become illegal to resell your iPhone 4, car or family antiques

The logic: you don’t own the copyright to that old novel or the Iphone you want to sell. Therefore if you want to sell it, you need to get the copyright owners permission.

Crazy? You betcha. But the Supreme Court is going to hear this very argument soon enough. Anything not made in the US may become *illegal* to resell. And since we don’t make much of anything anymore, that means pretty much everything may become illegal to resell.
