Good lord, guys. Just take care of business. The Passport doesn't transfer.
So don't try to transfer it. If you want to take care of a friend, do it. In
the world of high-tech, we call this a "workaround." I'm not advocating
fraud, for heaven's sakes. If you want to help out someone you've sold to,
do whatever you think is right. Three years isn't that long anyway! Maybe
take more time up front to consider what you really want so that you don't
have to sell the equipment before the warranty/insurance runs out! Get real!

If you don't want the Passport, buy a camera from outside the U.S. All this
arguing about minutiae is really just a lot of hot air! Go take some
pictures already! ;-)

Is it technically fraud?  If the passport service is valid only (a) for
a specified piece of equipment, (b) to a specified person, and (c) for
a maximum period of three years from the date of purchase, then if that
person claims service for that piece of equipment within three years of
its initial purchase, how does it constitute fraud?  Does it explicitly
say in the Passport legalese that you have to be the owner?  Or does it
only state that the Passport service is only available to the "original
owner"?  The orginal owner is still the orginal owner, even after
having sold it.
