   If you have some used video games you can sell them for Bitcoin on my site halfpricedigital.com It's an easy way to get BTC fast. You just need a free Coinbase account.

   My .com domain actually redirects to a .co.uk for the very reason that you mention :) And I made sure to host the site on servers in the UK as well! Adobe has moved to a subscription based model, which makes the UsedSoft v Oracle ruling irr

   Hi deeths, my site leaves it up to the seller (or buyer) to comply with restrictions on the usage of software. This seems to be how ebay deals with this issue as well. For example, there is a lot of used software on ebay that has restrict

   Thanks philiphodgen, I did not know about form 5471 and I've formed a few startup companies in the UK already - yikes! I should probably talk to a good, low-cost international tax lawyer...if you know of any... admin[at]halfpricedigita

   You have to keep in mind that a company is its own entity and since my startup was formed in the UK, it is a UK company that is governed by UK laws. The UK has no problem with non-resident company directors, but setting up a bank account f

   I'm not sure that this would be a problem though because the scenario would be for an American citizen that is forming a company in the EU. So the US bitcoin laws should be bypassed and you'd just be dealing with EU laws regardin

    Thanks! I'm not sure if the law would cover in-app purchases by themselves. However, you should be able to sell your used app which could probably include all the in-app purchases. I don't know if the law requires a mechanism fo

    Hey atmosx, the site is an MVP, but yes I agree the design needs work. The site itself and its revenue is irrelevant to the issue at hand. Any US citizen (or non-EU citizen) who wants to form a company in Europe is going to run into the s

    It seems that your argument then is that no one should ever be able to resell or give away anything that they buy ever. So when you buy something, anything at all, you would have to own it yourself until you throw it away. Obviously that

    Do you find the selling of used cars to be a moral grey zone? If you weren't able to sell your used car ever, would you be more or less likely to buy another car? Do you think that people who resell their used games buy more or less n
