On the contrary. This is like saying the used car market is unimportant to manufacturers of new cars. A used marketplace enhances the value of products. Suppose you buy the album from whomever. You don't like it. If you can sell it to a used CD store, who then sells it to me, you will have probably half the money you need to buy the next CD, from a band you like more. If there was no marketplace in second hand CDs, you wouldn't have that money in your hands to buy the next new one. It is correct that if I buy Michael Jackson's CD used, Michael doesn't directly get my dollars. But someone else will, indirectly, through the used CD dealer. Just like a used car dealer enabling others to trade up and buy new cars. Which is more money to musicians than allofmp3 is. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
