If I own a cd , do I not have the right to give it to anyone I wish ? Or sell it to anyone?
If I go to the flea market or ebay or wherever else and buy a used cd there is no royalty being paid to anyone and that seems to be legal.
What is next ? Are they going to make selling used cd's illegal ?
Sure we all should give back something by buying music from stores or download sites sometimes. Hey the artists do not do it for free. But if you you are just listening to music on your pc and not burning cd's for sale then that should not be illegal.
If I go to your house and listen to a cd am I ripping off the artist because I do not own it ? I think not.
