I understand what you are stating regarding the legal issues here.Please assume the following situation:
1. Someone purchases a CD from Amazon.com
2. A backup copy is made, either to a hard drive or to CD-R
3. The original CD is sold to a used CD store - the backup copy, under the law, is now illegal.
4. Sometime later, the person regrets selling the original CD, maybe because the booklet had some great information, or they are unhappy with the quality of their backup copy (reason does not really matter), so they go online again and purchase the same CD again from Amazon.com.
Now is the original backup copy still illegal, since the source CD for the backup copy was sold to a used CD store? Would the person have to make a backup copy of the new CD in order to have a legal copy?
Thanks,
Jim
