Am i allowed to sell my ipod with music on it?
Is this illegal and will trade me let me do it?

Some say it is OK as long as it has been dowloaded legally others say no.

Altho, whoever buys it will probably wipe them anyway.

640824 2008-02-16 00:20:00 Legally you have to remove the music - but who is going to check that you have? or care that you haven't?

Nobody.

640825 2008-02-16 00:54:00 who ever buys it with the music on it would soon lose the music when they go to sync it or they could keep the music but not be able to put their own on.
Of course there are ways around this..:D :D

640827 2008-02-16 01:08:00 Can't see why not - I mean if you paid for the music in the first place it must be yours to sell on. Greg (193)

Actually Greg, under New Zealand's crappy laws you didn't "buy" the music, you just purchased the right to listen to it which means you don't "own" it and there fore can't "sell" it. Legally speaking you can only on sell the music with express permission of the original artist - like thats going to happen:rolleyes:

As far as the RIAA is concerned, even making a back up copy of music is deemed illegal and as to "format shifting" :eek: crikey that would mean those ass hats miss out on more revenue because you didn't buy a CD for every place in the house, batch, device and car that you might want to listen to the music in or on. mmmkay

fuken pathetic really isn't it.:rolleyes:
