[quote]If you don’t want the Kinect sensor on while playing games or enjoying your entertainment, you can pause Kinect.[/quote] From that it says it can only be paused whilst playing. By law it must be able to turn completely off. I don't use itunes so i wouldn't know but i know for certain on steam i can get refunds because of how when we buy games it counts because [quote]An author of software cannot oppose the resale of his ‘used’ licences allowing the use of his programs downloaded from the internet. [b]The exclusive right of distribution of a copy of a computer program covered by such a licence is exhausted on its first sale.[/b] By its judgment delivered today, the Court explains that the principle of exhaustion of the distribution right applies not only where the copyright holder markets copies of his software on a material medium (CD-ROM or DVD) but also where he distributes them by means of downloads from his website. [b]Where the copyright holder makes available to his customer a copy –tangible or intangible – and at the same time concludes, in return form payment of a fee, a licence agreement granting the customer the right to use that copy for an unlimited period, that rightholder sells the copy to the customer and thus exhausts his exclusive distribution right. Such a transaction involves a transfer of the right of ownership of the copy. Therefore, even if the licence agreement prohibits a further transfer, the rightholder can no longer oppose the resale of that copy.[/b][/quote] So i'd of thought we could sell but i'm not so certain for itunes. Also the microsoft store thing where you can only sell in certain stores counts as trying to oppose sales as we would be unable to sell privately.

Functionally, what's different between an off Kinect and a paused Kinect? I'm guessing the important bit is that it can't take or transmit video, which would be the case when paused.

That's what i've been wondering, if you could actually turn it off completely why didn't they just say that instead of saying it can be paused. Paused implies some functions are stopped but the system is still waiting for a command.

But it can sill wait for a command while the camera is off.

Then that shouldn't be allowed, webcams over here have to have the option of being completely turned off for use. A kinect capable of detecting your heart beat and moods is most likely not going to be accepted.
