"the intermediary would guarantee your copy was removed from your library"?? Really?? That's a plan I'd like to see.
Follow Ups:
IIRC, when you offered your download for sale the system would access your library and delete any copies. That, plus music companies not wanting people selling digital copies of their music if probably why it never came to pass.
I have bought many downloads and there is no way that any of the vendors can access my library, let alone delete them. I own that copy.
Perhaps you didn't really buy them.
No, as I recall, this was someone trying to set-up a download trading/re-selling system independent of music vendors. I think the idea was that if you sold a download via his company/system he would verify that you no longer kept a copy for yourself. Anyway, all moot as nothing came of it.

he could only "verify" if the user gave him permission to access his system as a condition of "purchase."
"the system would access your library and delete any copies"?? Really??
And never make any mistakes as to what is deleted?? Talk about being invasive!! And what about the safety copy I have on my 4TB USB disk??Like I said elsewhere, distributors know there will be copying and (should) factor that into their pricing.
Dealers of old CDs apart, hobbyists are unloading their CD and SACD collections while keeping the files with safety copies. They sound better and are much easier to handle as files. Others are copying from friends and from public libraries. No amount of legal pontificating is going to stop this. Most of the material, I think, would not be purchased new or is OOP anyway. I do buy CDs from time to time, but almost never new. Really no reason to buy new. CDs are not like LPs.
