Supreme Court to Lexmark: when you sell something, the buyer then owns it

My hope of that this SCOTUS precedent can be leveraged to combat DRM in general. It’s the first crack in the tech consumable market’s armor this large that I am aware of. Suddenly patent protections don’t extend past sold good, so how do copyrights on the software bundled with it?

INAL, just curious if it would be possible.
