Can Selling Used CDs Be As Bad As Bootlegging?

[naner12]

i was thinking about this shit the other day. i'm not talking about selling an older out of print cd. let's say for example i sell the new Q-Unique on eBay. wouldn't that be the same as me burning the cd for that person? because the artist isn't seeing a penny from that used cd. if anyone knows anyone in the music business i just wanted to know or they feel about people selling used cds.

if you pay money for the cd, you own that disc and the music on it, what you do with it after wards is your choice.

No, because when an authentic cd is passed form one person to the other, the artist still got the money they should have for that cd, no matter who has it.

no need for them gettin paid twice off one cd

what's the difference in that and me getting my boys cd and burning a copy?

^That's unauthorized duplication and the artist doesn't see any penny from that, instead of passing down the og which is still just one copy, burning will create 2 copies. IF you were to pass the og down that'll be cool cuz there's only one copy, you gave it up now you don't have a copy. Burning another copy is like stealing from the artist, you get the goods but they don't get shit.

i feel what you're saying but say you go to a store that sells used cds with the intention to by the E-40. you walk by and you see it in the used section for $5.99. isn't that like taking a sale away from them?
