http://news.com.com/HP sues firms that refill ink cartridges/2100-1041_3-5643687.html
"We consciously make sure that our cartridges are reusable and refillable," Jotwani said at the time. The company does put some limits on the practice, such as adding software that makes some of its cartridges unusable after a certain expiration date--either four-and-a-half years after its manufacture or two-and-a-half years after its installation.
BTW, I agree that these companies should be forced to label these carts as "used", "refilled" or "remanufactured".
