New EU laws effect EA, Origin and further SWTOR?

I agree. Lets say I have a windows server 2003 and I purchase a new server with version 2008 on it to replace the 2003 version. I should be able to sell that server with the microsoft license as well. The new owner could register that COA with there business.

However a game is like a bottle of booze once its used up its gone. I can nolonger get a buzz from it.

Granted because of game trade ins companys have used ONLINE access keys. Most new games come with it. So If i were to take my CE edition to gamestop they could take the discs back and accuire a new online access key to go with it from Bioware. Or perhaps the existing access key gets invalidated and the account completely wiped for the new gamer. However I dont think that would happen either because bioware would want to hold your account and charachters for a time in hopes you return to the game.

New European Union laws mean that Europeans can sell their digitally downloaded games to other people, no matter what, even the UELA can't prohibit it and no company is allowed to refuse it, it's basically a right of the user/customer.

Could this eventually mean that games like SWTOR, Mass Effect, etc... can also be resold by their owners?

Everything in the game belongs to EA. You own nothing. You can not sell your account. You want to sell the software? Go right ahead but the characters associated to the account do not belong to you and they can be seized, frozen, or erased at EA's discretion.

You're wrong. The client is yours. You paid for it, you downloaded it or got a hard copy of it, even you got extra items with special hard copy editions like Collector's one for which you paid more thus those items are yours not BW's/EA's property.
What is BW's/EA's property is the server side softwar. But, to access to the server side softwer create an account is required so the account is also BW's/EA's property. That's why EULA states clearly that you cannot sell your account but if you want to sell your client you can because it is yours.

It's a puzzle of 3 pieces the client, the account and the server software. You owns one: the client; the company owns the other 2.

I'm sorry to inform you, but you are wrong dude. All the pixels belong to EA.

The law allows for the resale of the digital game, it does not allow for the resale of the account. Companies will just force original users to make accounts like Swtor does.

Remember you just own the game, the company claims ownership of your account and all intellectual property contained within, including all your characters.

laws have been changed to make the R18 rating come back so soon no game will miss our golden shores wooooooohooooooooooo

I'm sorry to inform you, but you are wrong dude. All the pixels belong to EA.

I did not know that the law in Europe applied to everywhere outside of Europe.
