This is something I've always wondered about, and haven't seen discussed anywhere. Lets say I buy a set of plans, and build the project. Now I'm done with these plans... I have no intent to ever build another one. Is it legal and ethical to put them up on eBay for someone else to buy and use?
On the surface it seems no different than buying a college textbook, using it for one class, and then selling it. But on the other hand, it seems like maybe I"m buying the rights to build the project, and not the paper plans?
Maybe as a software developer formerly in the music industry I'm just a little too hung up on IP?
