I don't see how my logic changed at all. It's just proving you that you are buying a digital copy, not a physical copy, and you cannot treat them the same way. Again, I want you to show me how you can perfectly make a copy of a Ferrari, until you can then you have very faulty logic. I would LOVE to see you copy the Ferrari and try to sell it. I'd be your first customer in fact.

Oh, I'm sorry. A digital copy is different from a physical copy. Guess what? To buy that digital copy you need a physical medium. But hey, I guess when I buy a car I'm not buying the engine that makes it run!!! I mean, isn't that "intellectual property?" Crap, I just realize the body of a car can be an intellectual property! I guess I don't own anything with a car!!!!

Great logic there. You're still not making your argument why I should not be able to resell my games. 

You are right, you can resell the CD, but not the content on the CD. Also that is absolutely false about how games are tied to the physical copy, there are plenty of games which are distributed over the internet without a CD or anything. Can you distribute a Ferrari over the internet? The engine is not "intellectual property" since it is not an idea but an actual item whose value is physical. I suggest you read up on what intellectual property is because now you are just talking out of your ass. If you want to copy the engine you can go right on ahead, but call me when you do. You can sell the CD of the game all you want, but you can't sell the game itself, wonder how much you'd get for a blank DVD these days.
