Is it legal to sell my mp3 player on ebay with 600 songs on it?

Sweetie asked:


Im getting a new ipod for christmas and i want to sell my old creative zen micro. it has about 600 songs on it now that i purchased legally and downloaded legally onto it. obviously i could get more money from selling it if i had 600 on it, but i just wanted to make sure it was legal to do this. thanks!

    I dont think you can do that.

    Why wouldn’t it be? You can sell CDs. Not everyone wants what is in your music collection…but it will obviously hold a little bit more value with the added songs.

    You answered your own question, you will get more money for it with the songs. That would make it illegal if you’re making money on the songs too.

    I don’t think its illegal. As others pointed out anyone may sell old CDs or tapes in a yard sale or on ebay. It is your property and you have the right to sell it.

    Technically i think it is, As that person would have got the songs and would not of paid for it. On the other-hand no one checks so you will be fine.

    Personally i wouldn’t sell the MP3 player with songs on it. Format it (wipe it clean). Even though there maybe nothing bad on the device it still may contain a virus that your unaware of. Plus i think it is manors to wipe a device clean before you sell it. It feels more of a new product to the buyer than someone’s cast off

    if you leagally obtained the songs then you can sell the mp3 player as is, I dont see why you can’t sell it. BUT!!!! MUSIC INDUSTRY & EBAY SEE IT DIFFERENTLY… PLZ READ ON!!
    It seems like a good idea. You upgrade your mp3 player and decide to offset some of the investment cost by selling your old player online. Fine if you remove the tunes, but if you leave them on the player you may be asking for trouble of the legal kind.
