Newsflash: the manufacturers sell their goods to the distributors, who then sell them to the retailers. Wow, that's a lot of "used" goods isn't it? In most cases, they're twice "used". I bet you don't want to ever again buy toilet paper.
Phase 1: Copy random quote from post.
Phase 2: Add any old "Masnick don't know crap" paragraph from the shill database.

Am I to presuppose that the grandiloquence of your sesquipedalian demeanor is purported to obscure the actual significance of your polysyllabic commentary, to the rest of us lacking in ostentatiousness of our pleonasic, and stuff?
The problem isn't Monopolies, it is granting those Monopolies that is the problem! Blah blah blah.
The problem isn't bad food, it is eating the bad food that is the problem! The problem is letting food go bad! The problem is the person who let the food that is bad now!
The problem isn't that people are bad drivers, the problem is that people skills at driving are bad!
You can't read paper mail 10 seconds after it's written! You have to wait for a week or more until it is delivered. So, with your logic, it makes sense if someone creates a law that prohibits electronic mail to be delivered faster than snail mail, so they should just hold your message for a week before sending it to your inbox.
A generic bob smith tried to sell me a chair he said he had made. Since he has no rights, I punched him in the face and told him I had no way to know if he wasn't infringing. Then I took, nay, confiscated his chair and held it in my home for safekeeping.
Everyone knows only big chair companies can possibly have the rights to build chairs.
"Figuring prominently in the brouhaha are other depictions of marijuana in cinema, particularly the scene in the 1980 comedy “9 to 5” showing Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin getting high and raiding the refrigerator. Its rating was PG."
That kinda makes sense in their ratings system. There are clearly negative consequences to smoking pot in that instance: the next day, they'll find out they are running low on groceries.
No, the problem is that it does not violate the copyright. Even if it's cheating, it still does not violate any copyrights. It violates something else, rules, whatever. Not copyright.
If you come to my house and cheat at cards, can I sue you for copyright infringement? Can the inventor of the cards? Of the game? No.
