"Wireless high power transmission using microwaves is well proven. Experiments in the tens of kilowatts have been performed at Goldstone in California in 1975 and more recently (1997) at Grand Bassin on Reunion Island. These methods achieve distances on the order of a kilometer."

This has already been done, on few hundreds meters using big directional antenna in area where you can install wires. I just cant remember where it was.. A tv documentary I've seen 10 years ago at least. Somewhere in south America, to power some scientists observatories or alike.

Obviously the current owner, you are entitled for support and update until you sell your license. Since you lost the right to use it, you also lost the support.
The new owner get the usage right and support and stuff. The difficulty for dev will be to check who has the real rights, which come back to code linked to online accounts.

Don't get this wrong, if you sell your copy, you can't keep using it.

A lot of posters here seams to not have understand well this point. You can sell your game, and it's code, but you lose your right to play it. Applied to Steam, you don't sell a activation code, but your account. As suggested above, we could eventually sell/transfer game to other Steam users. Developers has to allow us to do that, unfortunately.

Another exemple, you can sell your Windows license, but you must remove it from your computer.

You own one usage right, which you can sell/transfer/gift...

I agree.

If you are motivated enough, the best order is the created one (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT) but to discover ST...
I think it's a good idea to start with ST 2009. it's new and not completely into ST, give a good preview.
DS9 is a good second choice IMO. Not too old so does not look too cheap, the story and characters are good. But not completely into ST too.It's also the darkest ST series for me (and my favorite)
Then you can go with TOS and/or TNG, which are plain ST.
TNG can be boring if she doesn't understand the ST philosophy, it's not easy to see behind the main story, the message Gene wanted to tell us.
