I am only semi-literate in Japanese so I depend heavily on newsletters like yours to educate myself and to know what is going on in the tech world in the US. I hope this trend with reselling music doesn't spread further. One used to be able to listen to online radio from the US here. But now, there are not many free radio stations/music stations that allow you to listen to songs of your choice. Pandora was one which was really wonderful. But now I cannot access it and use it. I think that those who produce music or other things ought to be paid for their work. I don't advocate stealing. But is seems greed is winning out. I cannot understand how reselling something which was bought and paid for adds up to a crime. Stolen goods would be a crime, in my opinion. But not the resale of something legitimately purchased.

Getting fingerprinted for selling your used CDs! That is totally ridiculous. What next? You'll get busted for selling your used clothes? We will be forced to only buy new clothes? We are such a throw-away society and use up so much energy as it is. They encourage recycling, but only products that the government can reuse and make money on, not the general public? Once I buy a CD, it is mine to do whatever I want to do with it, including trading it in. Good grief! OMG!! Getting fingerprinted for selling your used CDs! That is totally ridiculous. What next?

How would you suggest I "market" them on the internet? I am interested in selling personal cd’s I’ve made of recordings of songs I’ve sung. How would you suggest I “market” them on the internet?
