But if you had sold him your origional DVD then what? That will be RIAA’s next attack on consumers. Their next claim allowed to become law of the land will be you aren’t buying the DVD but rather the right to watch it nonsense.
Selling the original DVD is no different from selling your car or your old sofa. You bought it, so you have the right to resell it. Selling the copy is not a right. My suggestion was that giving away a copy is also not your right, because it deprives the artist of royalties from a possible legitimate sale.

This will never happen, or it it did, it would be shot down by the courts. They might as well argue that you don't really own the car that Ford sells you, but only the right to drive and ride in it.
