David Chess discussed the "Doctrine of First Sale" in the context of the fascinating recent decision in Werner vs Autodesk.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
