Resell your MP3s?

Potentially so, so says this article.

Of course, if this does come about, I'm'a gonna get on torrent, download a ton of MP3s, and make 100% profit!

its a stupid idea you could just copy all your mp3's and sell them plus the market would get flooded with mislabelled low quality track it just wouldnt work.

who wouldn't?

I guess that's why this service will never work ... RIAA attorneys will kill this already before your first sale.

There must exist a method to verify that you sell your ONLY mp3 file and that you never copied it. However, such a mechanism is impossible with mp3s, you'd need a new data format. But if they really bring that out, then this could really be a success! This story won't be finished so soon...

Well, the point of having mp3s, I thought, was that you can get them easily from anywhere around the world, instantly, as opposed to physical media. The dirt-cheap price is also due to the fact that there is no resale value. So this is kind of working against the basis of digital media.
