Buying Used CDs Requires a Fingerprint?!
The Recording Industry has gone way overboard in somehow getting Florida and Utah (and possibly Rhode Island and Wisconsin) to pass a laws that say:
- selling used CDs requires putting up a $10K bond with the state
- buying them requires a fingerprint (!) and a state-issued ID
These are probably much tougher requirements than buying a gun in these states. Does this seem absurd to anyone? What about used book sales? Are used CD sales really that much of a market killer? Why is the recording industry trying to shoot itself in the foot? What a bunch of morons - including the legislators who bought in to this ill-conceived joke.
