Fealty Payments? You May Have to Purchase Permission to Resell Your Own Items
Kimberly Paxton
Hey – you don’t OWN that IPod, that antique dresser or that vehicle! What are you thinking, trying to resell it? You only purchased the right to USE it! You have to get permission to sell it! Stop, thief! If money is changing hands outside the system, the modern feudalist government is certain to want to put a stop to it. What better way to halt trade that doesn’t benefit them than to regulate it or demand fealty taxes? Very quietly, the United States Supreme Court has slipped into its docket a hearing on the piece of the pie owed to the original copyright or patent holders. Absurdly, if the item you wish to resell was produced outside the United States, you may soon have to receive permission from the originator of the item before you can resell it. And of course, with that permission will likely come an applicable fee or tax – sort of like a royalty payment. In the case, Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, the first-sale doctrine in copyright law is being questioned for validity. This doctrine allows a person to buy and then sell items, including electronics, books, artwork, furniture, CDs, and DVDs, with no requirement of permission from the copyright holder of those products. If the first-sale doctrine is not upheld, this will have significant and preposterous repercussions for the average American. You can forget Craigslist, eBay, thrift stores and yard sales – these types of sales will no longer be allowed without rolls and rolls of red tape – so much red tape that it will cease to be worthwhile to sell your used items. In an economy that is struggling so desperately, the inability to purchase a used coat at a thrift store for your child, not being allowed to sell that second car sitting in your driveway, being banned from raising some money with a yard sale – well,this could be the difference between a poor child wearing winter boots or flip flops. Like most of the recent draconian laws, the only people being hit by this are the serfs, as the big corporations with their fat bank accounts will receive fealty payments for everything the 99% has purchased (but actually only purchased the right to use). This is not the first attack on the sale of used items. In Canada, restrictions have been put in place for the sale AND donation of used goods. In a news release dated May 15, 2012, Health Canada (the federal department responsible for public health) cautions against buying or selling goods at garage sales. The legal basis of this is a legislation passed last June. “On June 20, 2011, the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) came into force. Its purpose is to protect the public by addressing and preventing dangers to human health or safety that are posed by consumer products in Canada. There is no distinction under the CCPSA and its regulations between new and used products. Any person who sells, distributes, or gives away consumer products that do not comply with the Act or its current regulations is breaking the law in Canada.” For eagle-eyed yard-sale attendees or hand-me-down beneficiaries, an easy-to-use tattle-tale form is available on the Health Canada website. With unparalleled convenience, the online form is automatically submitted to instigate an investigation of the questionable item. Beware, Craigslist criminals, ebay bandits, thrift store thieves and yard sale desperados – you are in the crosshairs.

On top of the resell fees will no doubt be a tax for the feds states and locals not to mention the new un tax. Guess we will just have to barter. It pleasu
res me to watch th e failed corporate model go under. I can sew if anyone needs patched up.
These people are really not on our side.
What about auctions, etc? I would ask, “How can they do this?” but we know the answer! If they want to do it, We the People have NO ability to stop it!
And then there is barter, how will they control that?
Time to dig up the tomahawk and put on the war shirt and paint…time to raise the rebel yell time to bring the tyrants down into the dustbin of history…ENOUGH!
Maria: yes, we can do something about it — this is not an entity like Godzilla that mere mortal men cannot stop — these are people putting STUPID things into “law.” They CAN be stopped.
Elite want to tax everything that exchanges hands. United States of America was or is built on this foundation. Federal Reserve is not part of the United States Government, it is simply a international bank that thrives on making money on your expense. United States Government either needs to obey the banks orders & renew for another one hundred years, or kick the banks to the curb by not renewing it. 2013 is the Presidents time to make this desission. Make the President know how you feel.
