"Just opt out..."

Yes, contrarians please label yourself so Google has a map of all "trouble makers" for future reference...

Have everything. Own nothing. Learn the difference

I agree

It is patently absurd that moving forward no one will be able to resell digital goods, as more and more content moves to digital distribution.

Also, the author's logic is flawed. When you purchase a CD, you do not "own" the content anymore than when you purchase a digital copy and the RIAA will be very quick to remind you of that.

"So what did I buy?", you ask them.

You bought a license to listen to the music on the CD exclusively for yourself. You cannot copy the content or play it for an audience. So, then, what are you selling when you take the CD to trade in? You are selling your rights as a license holder.

How is this non-replicateable on a digital format?

"Well, you could just keep a copy of the file and sell the original."

How is that different from selling used CDs?

Apple trains store bosses to ignore deal with unions

"Apple Retail Workers Union"

"Retail worker" is not skilled labor, any old twat can do it. Unemployment is at 9% in the States, so just shovel off the unionist dross and pull in new unskilled employees to stand around looking smug all day.

Not really a big deal.
