I find it hilarious that Microsoft doesn't seem to give a s**t they will be breaking UK law.
Which law? Haven't seen anything about this.
Angry Joe even mentions it in the video.
UsedSoft GmbH v Oracle International Corp.
Quote:
in the event of the resale of a user licence entailing the resale of a copy of a computer program downloaded from the copyright holder's website, that licence having originally been granted by that rightholder to the first acquirer for an unlimited period in return for payment of a fee intended to enable the rightholder to obtain a remuneration corresponding to the economic value of that copy of his work, the second acquirer of the licence, as well as any subsequent acquirer of it, will be able to rely on the exhaustion of the distribution right under Article 4(2) of that directive, and hence be regarded as lawful acquirers of a copy of a computer program within the meaning of Article 5(1) of that directive and benefit from the right of reproduction provided for in that provision.

Why can you can only give a game once to a friend and they have to have been on your list for 30 days and it can only be given out once.
