Harry said:Reminds me of some auctions I've seen where you can bid on a Bic pen - any amount you like - and the winner gets a 'free' set of rare Beatles bootleg CD copies.
Harry said:There's a grey area though. If I make a copy of WARM on CD and sell it to someone - that's wrong. If I sell them an LP of WARM along with a CD copy, that's borderline legal. There are a lot of semi-legitimate businesses and folks on eBay who do just that. They'll 'copy and clean up' YOUR album, when in reality all they're doing is selling you a cleaned up copy of their own album along with a beat-up old LP of the same title.

Mike Blakesley said:The reason the "used" market is OK in the eyes of the law is, that when you sell your disk to the store, you give up the enjoyment of it. The person who buys the disk then buys the enjoyment you gave up. There's no need for the record company to be involved.
Ed Bishop said:For years, the major chains didn't sell used CD's, for fear of losing ad dollars from the majors. But as that support--and profits--plummeted, many have decided, the hell with it, and now I see used CD's and DVD's all over the place.
Phillie Harry said:Buying any used product of any kind by its very nature denies the 'creator' of any profit. Buy a used Chevy from Joe's Used Cars and General Motors will get nothing from the sale. Buy an existing house from a seller or realtor, and the original builder gets zero.
TallPaul said:To try to get around this one video chain (Circuit City I think) tried to market DVDs that would only play a few times (say 5) then if you wanted to see it more you had to buy another copy, they self distructed basically. In other words, you were "buying" not the DVD but paying for the 5 plays. Needless to say it didn't last.
