The press has already reported extensively about us. Especially in the period after the landmark ruling of the European Court of Justice in 2012, trade in second-hand software was a major topic in the media landscape. At that time, it was decided that used software may be resold - regardless of how it was acquired. This was a breakthrough, because since then, software licences that have been put on the market exclusively by download may also be traded without the manufacturer's consent. And of course we, as software dealers, also had something to say about it. Our managing director, Stefan Tauchhammer, was interviewed several times about this and we do not want to withhold this information from our customers.<\/p>\n
