Ok, so then there is no direct law that says items sold as scrap have to
remain scrap. So if a company sells 1000 working computers as scrap, and
doesn't specify that they have to be destroyed (although I am sure they
would specify that), then the scrapper is under no obligation to trash
them, and can sell them as working systems.
That is kind of what I thought the deal would be (and should be).
