Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection

Rel has it right; czarivey is trying to rationalize (excuse) illegal conduct, his ad hominem attacks further devalue his position.
It's pretty simple and really has nothing to do w digital vs analog. You can duplicate copyrighted material for personal non-commercial use. You cannot sell or give away or trade the material if you retain either the original or the copy. Think of it this way- it's the content/intellectual property that is protected not its format.

Its probably worth noting that the people record companies are going after are file sharers. In order to win a law suit, you need to show damages. So, if a person has a few burned CD's that fit the definition of illegal, the damage is very small. There's no way record companies co go after that type of thing. The dollar amounts are just not there. No so with file sharing. If you upload 1 CD and share it, it has the potential hurt sales of thousands, or possibly millions of CD's. Those are the people that companies go after.

Unless you're Metallica or Dr. Dre - which no one listens to anyway...

Screw the RIAA - rip away people - give to friends - sell the originals - there's BIGGER things
in this world to worry about for Allah's sake....

Czarivey, keep the rips you sell. No one cares... (for real. These old self-righteous delusive
people speaking out here have no life and need something to believe in no matter how
retarded their automatonophobiatic puppet strings are pulled).

And you're getting all this from reading and posting opinions in threads talking about stereo equipment? What makes you any different? You're posting too.

Who's Allah? The name sounds familiar. Does he make cables?

number of copies given to friends increase the chance of artist booking larger venue and retreiving larger profits from performances. it also give light bites to the recording companies-pimps profits. them are mostly interested in copyright laws, not artists. they even block artists from performing songs that they've aquired copyrights from(Fogerty as an example).
read notes on wiki about Lother album of Frank Zappa who prepared crowd to turn their tape recorders onto the radio and record his commercial free album completely FREE. all artists want YOU to hear them regardless of the contracts with pimps.
so who by definition supports artists???
RIAA? Columbia label? RCA label? ...or maybe audiophile crowd testing how this or that particular recording sounds? WRONG PICK! WRONG DIRECTION! TADAM!
listening to recorded cassette or CDR in your auto, office or home regardless weather you have or haven't an authorized purchased copy is NOT immoral or unethical. it's rather stoopid to tink dat way.
it seems that if the law tells ya ta bend over and relax yer hips, ye'r gonna b ready 100% to accept a footlong penatration while i'm ready to rise my middle finger instead and blow cigar smoke right to the face and after spit through the teeth(burp)!
