RIAA Doesn't Like the "Used Digital Music" Business
An anonymous reader writes "Ars Technica reports on the developing story between the RIAA and music reseller ReDigi, 'the world's first online marketplace for used digital music,' who first came online with a beta offering on October 11th, 'allowing users to sell "legally acquired digital music files" and buy them from others "at a fraction of the price currently available on iTunes.'' If the notion of selling 'used' digital content is challenged in court, we may finally receive a judicial ruling on the legality of EULAs that will overturn the previous Vernor v. Autodesk decision."
I'm sure he'll be standing up to the RIAA any minute now....
gonna be soon.....
he's probably on his way....
just be patient.

Example? I looked at a few LPs on google images but couldn't see what you're talking about.
My God, I'm old.
I am not a crackpot.
It's like the wave particle duality. The intellectual property exists in two mutually exclusive states.
1. it is physical good that can be legally acquired, owned, resold, discarded and stolen
2. it is also intangible, can't be owned, can't be sold, can't be discarded nor stolen.
Just like the quantum world, the wave function collapses only when you try to make a measurement. Until you try to measure you can't be sure if it's physical or intangible. Until it is measured, it exists in both mutually exclusive states concurrently to maximize profit for the copyright mafia.

When dealing with the RIAA, bending over backwards isn't the position you have to assume...
