The seller on the 'Gon says that original CD's are included. However, he did not answer my question as to whether his new disc retained copies. So, is some kind of notarized legal statement required to get the buyer some insurance that he is not participating in an illegal transaction?

I don't see where he states the CDs are included, If he does it would be legal in the US as I understand it.
If he sold you the drive and the discs and he retained a copy that would be his problem, no different than someone who copies a CD and then sells it. Selling the CD is fine but keeping a copy is not.
.
I asked the "Gon seller a question and he responded positively to CD inclusion but avoided the question of copy retention. Isn't it wrong to receive as well as sell illegally?

You are not receiving or doing anything illegal. You will have the originals so you are entitled to a copy.
You have no way of knowing and should not be concerned with how many copies he may have retained, given away, or sold.

Being a part of an illegal transaction is wrong [period].
Playing dumb is not a defense, even if your not playing...hmmmmm
Somehow I don't think he is playing.

I have been reading this thread and laughing...
How can the world legal and wrong even be in the same sentence.. :)
The thing is really very simple it is legal to sell and purchase as long as the originals are included! The buyer does not have any concern or control over what the seller does. The seller is legally not supposed to retain a copy. But this is not the buyers problem. He cannot be help responsible for what the seller does. The clean hands doctrine does not apply in this situation.

I said very clearly if you know he is acting illegally that is different

I'm making a legal purchase. If I know they are doing something illegal that is different but why should I suspect they are?
I can't control what other people do. I'm not out to police the world.
As a retailer is it my responsibility to have every customer sign a document swearing they obtained their money legally?
As a consumer should I have every seller sign a document that says everything they are doing is legal and every one of their suppliers is too.
Good grief man, don't you have better things to worry about?

It's curious what the CBC has recently done. A number of their stations are selling their collections. One wonders if they have retained digital copies. And if so, one wonders if this is legal in Canada, or just something that a quasi-governmental organization can get away with.

I used to work as a DJ and recall that most of the albums we used at the stations I worked at were marked "Promotional, not for resale" and the record companies retained the rights to them (to take them back?!?).
I just wonder if the records that the CBC stations are selling are similar to the ones I remember? If so, that surely puts a wrinkle into the sale of their libraries, doesn't it? I would think the record companies will see this as illegal.
The local library divested itself of records a number of years ago... hmmmm.
Go, Muffin, Go!
It sounds as though CBC is doing the same thing - "But with the changing tide of technology, the library has gone digital and it will be officially closing down in two weeks."
