(quote from article) "It might be possible in the near future to violate copyright law simply by selling your old iPad or iPod touch to a buyer from eBay or Craigslist, if a case soon to be 
seen in the Supreme Court goes horribly wrong. The Supreme Court has 
been asked to examine a lower court decision to prevent the sale of used
 electronics without securing permission from copyright holders involved
 in manufacturing the devices."

What fun. Before you put that first-generation Kindle out at your summer yard sale, you'll have to get the OK from the publisher of every text in it. But that stack of books on the table right next to it is fair game. 

Sheesh ...
