second hand mp3

iTunes has announced that it will now offer music free from DRM, which is probably due to people like you and me who reject any form of limitation on the manner by which they can utilize electronic content. The creators of Bopaboo.com, on the other hand, provide an online service that seeks to address the objections of record labels to unauthorized use and p2p . A member can upload a music file to sell to other members. As per the user agreement, that seller has to delete the file on his computer after the sale. A portion of the purchase price goes to the website and the license holder. It's kind of funny that the website claims that it "provides the safe and legal alternative to the proliferation of P2P" simply because it believes that in their hearts, people are innately honest. An uploaded file can come from a CD, or legally purchased from iTunes, but it also can easily have come from kazaa or mininova. A person loses possession of a CD that he sells, but unless there's a way to actually enforce the user agreement, Bopaboo does not really solve the dilemma of infinite copying.
