And when you pay for a video card, you've paid for the priviledge of using 
that card for as long as you want, and discarding it or giving it away to 
someone else when you're done with it.

Where's the restriction?

When you're on a train, are you free to go up to the engine cab and make it go 
faster?  or slower?   You're allowed to ride, just like you are allowed to 
use the video card.   

I don't think YOU get it.
