What If You Could Legally Resell Your Digital Music? ReDigi May Have Found The Solution.

Screen shot 2011-10-14 at 3.37.16 AMHere's an interesting piece of news that's sure to reignite debate over consumers' rights in the digital age: A Boston-based startup called ReDigi has this week launched an eMarketplace that allows users to resell their digital music -- as well as buy new and used songs for cheap. While the idea of a secondary resale marketplace for digital content no doubt sounds appealing, given the tumultuous (and lawsuit-heavy) history of the sale and distribution of music on the Web, there are a number of tricky legal issues in play. Namely, with the rise in the digital distribution of music, movies, software, and more, there has come surfeit legal confusion over whether or not the so-called "first sale doctrine" applies to digital transactions.
