[quote][i]Originally posted by Pirk[/i] Here there is already a special tax for copyrights when you buy blank cd-roms or a new hard-drive! (In France everything is taxed and often several times...) So I think I've already payed the copyrights at least once for all my music on my PC, and twice when I buy a cd that I rip in mp3 on my hard-drive! :D [/quote] Here in Germany it is similar, we have a tax for analog blank media like tapes, cassettes, and a (much higher) tax for blank digital media like CD-R. Under German law, every private person is legally entitled to make personal copies of any music, as long as he uses a legal source for it. This means I can copy CDs from all my friends and can also make copies for them of all my music, as long as I use original CDs as source. Files from Kazaa and eMule are not considered legal sources. The idea is that the tax paid on blank media pays for all these copyrights. However: The record industry also has the right to copy-protect their music, and since last year it has become illegal to break any form of copy-protection even if it is trivial. With more and more CDs being copy protected we now have the bizarre situation that we still pay full copyright taxes, but cannot make use of our legal(!) right to copy music. Coming back to the original post: In Germany you could indeed sell your MP3 collection as long as all MP3 titles have been obtained from legal sources (i.e. online music stores). But as these stores all operate with DRM (digital rights management) it would probably be of little use to just sell the files. Selling of MP3s obtained by any other means (self-encoded from CDs or via Internet) is illegal.
