I don't know the legalisms, but I think the artist, label, etc. are considered as getting their full cut on the initial sale. Subsequent re-sales (a) defray the cost to the original buyer who decides the disc is worth something less than the full price, and (b) allow someone else who thinks the disc isn't worth the full retail price to add it to their collection. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
