Well hell, using your statement cars and movies are also comparable, and music and silverware. What you listed is jus about anything that is physical . Sorry to break it to you but cars and video games couldn't be any more different, one is physical the other digital, world of difference there and that's why your arguments are weak and I don't need to read any further.

What about cars that contain computer programs?

What about brand names? What about medicine that have technology behind them? Cars that are physical objects that have technology behind them? INVENTIONS THAT HAVE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THEM >.<

I really don't get your emphasis on strict non-materialism.

Because video games are a superior class of consumer product that shouldn't adhere to the doctrine of first sale, obviously.

I'm pretty much done with this guy.  There is no analogy that will work with him because he sees video games in this perfect little sphere that cannot be intruded upon by other forms of media, consumer products, or intellectual resources.  Nothing will convince him because games are unlike anything else to him, and therefore deserve special treatment, despite the law being very clear about first sale rights.

He's also an admitted pirate, which I find so hilariously ironic that I actually hope he's just putting us on.  Unfortunately, hypocrites do tend to be the loudest in an argument.
