"Software producers who clearly impose restrictions on buyers and make it clear that buyers are only licensing material rather than buying it outright do have the right to restrict second hand sales of the material, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has said."

That's perfectly fine.  Let's (someone) set up a website containing all such software so that the general public can boycott it.   (And I think it's naive to think that this type of thing will spread to other spaces, such as video games and other relatively low-cost off-the-shelf items.)
