I agree, they're nowhere near the same thing.  If you pirate a game, that means it's available for millions to download at no charge.

If you resell your legitimately purchased copy, that's none of the companies' fucking business.  I have the right to resell my TV, my bookshelf, or my damn house if I want to.  What makes my video games so special?


This! A hundred times!

It is your right as a customer to sell your legally purchased game to whoever you want. The same goes for your old computer, TV, car and everything else.

This discussion is absurd. It's like half of all forum visiters were slaves of the videogaming industry. What's next? Will people stop reselling their cars because of the poor car manufacturers?

Reselling items is part of every market. It's part of a free market economy.

This! fifty times. It's the way the free world works. If a law stops you from seling on your original dics (a tangible object) to protect the developers and publishers market, where does it stop? Then every manufacturer of whatever can claim this right.

People sell their old cars to help buy a new one. Many, many people sell their old games to finance the purchase of new ones. It's a vital cycle and everyone benefits.
