In Reply to: Here is a question posted by RGA on November 6, 2017 at 19:48:25:
Physical media private use copyright belongs to the owner of the items. That ownership can be transferred legally at anytime.
The owner of those physical media can make a copy for personal use.
But if the physical media is sold or given away.. The copies become a grey area.. They are no longer legally owned.
Generally all the lawsuits involve music downloaded illegally. But the cost is very high. And at anytime a music co might decide to go after someone with a hard drive full of illegally held music.
For the downloaded music legally bought.. Not clear who can own it.
Some sites say only the purchaser can use the files.
Google reselling paid for downloads.. All the results say no one can resell a downloaded file.
The courts all say you can resell a physical record, CD or tape, and they also all say you cannot sell (or give away) a download you bought, nor a burned CD-ROM of music (unless YOU would own the copyright of the music... if it is someone elses copyrighted music. deep doo doo.)
((So a performer certainly can sell or give away his or her own copied music.))
So it is pretty clear.
