Can you resell an mp3?
If I buy a book or CD it appears I'm perfectly entitled to sell it on; thousands of us do it for expensive textbooks around exams so that we're not paying excessively.
A new textbook (or rather series) has come out for an exam I have in the near future. It costs £53 ($95). I'd like to buy it, but will have no use for it after the exam so would like to be able to sell it.
It's in mp3 format - downloaded from a website. No CD/other copy appears to be available.
Can I legitimately sell my copy (I'll delete it from the computer) afterwards? Would it be different if I downloaded it straight onto a DVD and sold that after?
I'm interested in the general philosophy/legality of this as well as what to do in this specific case...
