Record shops: Used CDs? Ihre Papiere, bitte!

Has the RIAA no shame? Have they no brain? Do these morons realize the ultimate implications of this attack? How long before the concept of private, personal property disappears entirely, replaced by leaseholds and licenses?

There are a few things lawmakers have decided really ought to be handled with the "care and oversight" that only the government can provide: e.g., tax collection, radioactive materials, biohazards, guns, and CDs. CDs? No, I'm not talking about financial Certificates of Deposit, though that might make more sense. I'm talking about Compact Discs.
