I can buy a person hand crafted item, say a table, and resell it in the paper, same deal.
I can buy just about anything in the world, including books, and resell them on my own terms, and the original creators make nothing.
As long as I don't rebrand, try to duplicate it, say it's my own version, make a corporate profit, ect.. it's all legal.

When you give a copy of a cd or dvd to a friend you are still in possession of that item and now your thieving friend has a copy too. That IS and should be illegal.

Absolutely not. You act like they are trying to take advantage of you for something you have to have. It's music. It's a luxury. If you can't or won't spend the money they ask for the item, you can't have it. I want a brand new BMW but I can't afford the price. Does that mean I should steal one since I am too broke to buy one?
