I could go on Amazon.com right now and get used CD's. The RIAA thugs aren't getting a cent, luckily.

What exactly does this have to do with anything? Once you've bought a CD, you have the right, by law, to sell it to whomever you want. At least a royalty was collected on the first sale. Lots of people are grabbing music files on P2P networks just to avoid even the first sale, directly depriving the artist of the possibility of realizing that royalty.

Somebody paid for the music initially, just as a library pays for a book before everyone shares it.
