Two US States Restrict Used CD Sales
DrBenway sends us to Ars Technica for a report that Florida and Utah have placed draconian restrictions on the sale of used music CDs; Wisconsin and Rhode Island may soon follow suit. In Florida, stores have to hold on to CDs for 30 days before they can sell them — for store credit only, not cash. Quoting: "No, you won't spend any time in jail, but you'll certainly feel like a criminal once the local record shop makes copies of all of your identifying information and even collects your fingerprints. Such is the state of affairs in Florida, which now has the dubious distinction of being so anal about the sale of used music CDs that record shops there are starting to get out of the business of dealing with used content because they don't want to pay a $10,000 bond for the 'right' to treat their customers like criminals."
Ahh, compact discs... They're like tractor-feed paper in a paperless world!
I only buy them if I can get a whole album cheaper that way than a whole album (or partial selection thereof) by electronic means.
fuck you, you fucking dick smoking faggots. i hope you faggots all die of the aids.
aids is the answer to the faggot question.
Brady would like to have records of every time any firearm is touched by a human being, with DNA records attached, and under realtime surveillance.
I hear they've got castration on the table as well. You'd better go hide!
Just look at gamestop.... they make MILLIONS off used software...and thats just by being a broker.
Developers are not getting the amount of money for their efforts compared to the amount of people who play it.
And gamestop sits there and laughs making money off all their work.
Its a part of society yes... making a profit off others efforts.

I rarely read replies, it's my opinion and if you thought about your opinion a little more, I'm OK with that.
Did you pay your spouse to get rid of crappy KRS stuff?
Wow you're *so* fuckin' modern.
Here's the thing - lot's of people like the sleevenotes/covers, physically owning the medium etc etc.

So you're a feminist bitch (riot grrl) and got stolen from. Good. Too bad your husband got caught.
I wish biblical law was involved: woman is owned by man, man can take very young wives (12,13 yes old), polygamy allowed, woman can't divorce husband or do anything against him.
Wow ... I bet you could also have parroted the 'You are either with us, or against us' quote and saved yourself a lot of typing.

It's our 'masters' the JEWS again...
It's the JEWS, stupid...
Not content with trying to sell you music which THEY (the JEWS) still 'own' and can rescind at any time, they also want to stop you from selling your old CDs, as every used CD bought may be a NEW JEWISH CD NOT bought...
Those poor, powerless Jews... It must sure be hard never having to do any manual labour, owning the entire media of all white countries, having your cronies in the government of ALL white countries (hey look! The new prime minister of France is a JEW - how odd, seeing as Jews are so 'powerless'...), getting 'whitey' to fight and DIE for your shitty little country Isrealhell, and getting away with sexually torturing and mutilating your own male babies...
But hey - 'God' told them to torture their own babies, didn't he... It's not at all possible that a sick as fuck paedophile JEW MADE UP the idea that 'God' demanded they let him mutilate their own babies, no sirree...
It's the JEWS, stupid, and they will keep bleeding us all dry until we expel them. As have most other countries throughout history... I wonder why that would be...
