"not for (individual) resale" is just a suggestion, not the law.

Thanks for the info about judges but should you be telling us how to change it instead of how to behave in front of a judge?

What about copyright's intended purpose? At the termination of the copyright term, how is the public benifiting from this?

Why do you think one person speaks for everybody. The game is not even for sale, so how do you know it is not going to be bought? Do you know who has to deal with drm issues if present, the legit customer is who.
