The music industry keeps fighting piracy and the USA they’ve now attached the use of CDs. In several states new laws have been proposed that makes you wonder what the heck is going on. In the state of Florida music stores that are buying used CDs have to ask of IDs and fingerprints of their customers/sellers, something that has led to that many have chosen to stop handling used CDs. You also have to wait for 30 days after buying a CD before you have to sell it to a store and when you do sell it you will not get any money back, just store credit. No, we’re not kidding.
“The legislation is supposed to stop the sale of counterfeit and/or stolen music CDs, despite the fact that there has been no proof that this is a particularly pressing problem for record shops in general.”
The sales of CDs have been dropping drastically lately and the odds of them improving because of this are probably through the roof.
