UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Augusto
Universal Music Group v. Augusto is a lawsuit filed by Universal Music Group against Troy Augusto, a man who resells promotional CDs on eBay. UMG claims that their promotional CDs marked "promotional use only" are their property for eternity and cannot be resold. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has stepped in on behalf of Augusto and claimed that Augusto has the right to resell the CDs under the first sale doctrine.
