The ones doing the abusing in your hypothetical example are the RIAA.

As much as I agree that the RIAA is a major pain in the fanny, they are the problem, not eBay. The RIAA could just as easily get the same info by tracking your sales of used CDs.

Exactly -- It's not eBay doing the abuse, it's the one's they so freely provide information too. In my example eBay facilitates that abuse. The RIAA would not be able to collect a full history of my past sales otherwise since they wouldn't have been monitoring it.
