Why do you buy used CD\'s?
 

In this modern era of all music being free if you spend the time on the web, why do people still buy used CDs? I spend a decent chunk of change buying new stuff from artists that I want to support. But the artists get none of my money from a used CD purchase.

The only reason I could see for logically buying used CD's is if you are trying to help out the person or store selling them. Other than that, seems silly.

Hmm, suppport a local (likely small) business vs. steal intellectual property. Tough choice.

This is not valid. You should support the local business and local musician buy purchasing new music.

Besides, isn't buying a used CD pretty much the same idea as downloading as far as the artist is concerned? They are not getting a cut.

Because I lost everything at poker and can't afford new cds.

Why should I be forced to keep something I no longer want? (sounds like marriage)

And why should I be forced to only buy a product in new condition?

What?

Go ahead and sell your CDs if you want. I just don't get why people buy them.

You don't have to buy only new things. I'm just saying that if you are not going to buy it new, I see no logical reason to not download it.

I use iTunes because everytime I go to one of those cheap ass sites for free music I get some kind of virus on my CPU. Also, I don't know of any good free sites.

Do Educate if you will,

One is illegal and the other is legal. Seems like a pretty logical reason to me.
