buying promo cd's illegal? give me a break!

[negative1]

ok, maybe this thread can go somewhere else..
but there are collectors here, and it is about
the distribution of music.....somewhat related to underworld..

but this is just SOOOOO ridiculous:

are you kidding me?
throwing it away = distribution?

yes, i've read the article, and all the commentary, on
digg, slashdot, ars, etc...

ok, yes, if you solicit the cds, you shouldn't sell them..
now granted the guy selling them on ebay, might have
gotten them some other way (gray area)....we'll have
to see how that turns out..

but if you got them for free, or in the mail, you should
be able to do whatever you want with them..

i hope universal LOSES BIG TIME....if they don't , it could
mean that every free cd, or item in the mail has to be
returned, or you have to pay for it, even if you didn't
want it etc..

totally ridiculous...

can they (the music industry) please come up with some
mores to bug and alienate the fans....

later
