They want you to buy movies and music...not receive it as a gift from someone else. It even goes as far as preventing you from selling old movies and music at garage sales. I’m serious.

Stupid greedy spoiled rich(bleeps). Working class, the real America is suffering, and these left-wing spoiled rich snobs are worried about losing what is pocket change to them.

They have their guy in power, they live it up as middle class America crashes and burns. Screw them, may they GTH.

It's worse than that. What they want is, even if you have 'bought' it, all you've done is purchased a license for the intellectual property on the disk. It is not yours to resell, or transfer in any way.

Now that CDs and DVDs are declining in sales and digital downloads are getting to be the norm. They might actually and up getting what they want.

Labels have long been at war with radio stations that played entire albums because of home recording. Then came the used record/CDs sales at brick and mortar stores, then on-line, eBay, Amazon, etc. Ironically, label Promo and Sales guys have been some of the biggest suppliers to these resellers via "Promos" and "Cleans", which are supposed to be used as promotional (payola) items.
