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

All except the sanely priced refills by lexmark’s competitors, that is.

And the ‘cheap cartridges’ was marketing newspeak. They had ‘normal priced cartridges’, which you couldn’t refill. And as a diversion from the fact that they tried to tell you what to do with stuff that you bought you could pay them ‘protection money’ by buying the even more exorbitantly priced ‘restrictionless’ cartridges.
