%99 of the CDs I buy I buy used or directly from the artists at concerts. I'm part of the reason their sales are down %30 and none of it is due to piracy.

The only way they could make buying used CD's illegal is to buy a president who would stack the Supreme Court to revoke the 'first sale' doctrine which allows an individual to resell purchased copyrighted material.

And that could never happen here, right?
