Is this leagal or not....

...I'm sure many have wondered the same question:
Suppose you bought all of Morrissey's CD's & songs WITH YOUR OWN MONEY and then decided to make your own "Best of" collection and re-sale it to 'friends'. Would it and why would it be illegal if the man already recieved his royalties from your initial purchase. After all, you've already purchase them as your own property.

Cheers,

J.C.

Feh.. I won't shop you, unless you tell the police about that armed robbery I did last night.

If you gave them away instead of selling them then I don't think anyone would mind. Besides, you said friends, right?

It's only illegal if you get caught. = )

It is illigal becasue you are selling copywritten material without the Artist's consent. The copywrite makes it The Artist's property. Any and all moneys exchanged after that for his work, he should get a percentage of.

When you purchase the original material on a CD, you have ppurchased the physical CD. you have not bought the copywrite. The record compnay and marketing people are the ones who have liscenced the material to put it on a CD and charge you for the plastic CD. But you factually do not own the work. You own a peice of plastic that happens to have music on it. Depending on what music is, equals the price of your plastic.

It's illegal. It would even be illegal if you gave them away. It would even be illegal if you decided to take it to work and blast it for everyone in the office to hear. All you have purchased in buying the cd are the rights to your private use.

I think making mixed tapes/mixed cds only helps to get good music out there. I think cd burning though is a problem because you have the same good quality with a burned cd as you do with the original whereas if you are dubbing a tape, it will most likely be on a tape that is of a lesser quality unless you go and buy some really expensive high quality tapes in which case what would be the point of dubbing and not buying it? But I enjoy making mixed tapes for my friends and I don't see mixed cds as any different (as long as they are not full length albums you are burning). It gains exposure for the band. But I think selling them would be wrong though because then you are profiting off another's work and besides-why would you ask your friends to pay you money for something like that?
