Selling A Used CD? Prepare To Get Fingerprinted.

May 14th, 2007

DiscFrom the article: “In Florida, Utah, and soon in Rhode Island and Wisconsin, selling your used CDs to the local record joint will be more scrutinized than then getting a driver’s license in those states.” For example, in Florida, the CD store is required to copy your identification and take your fingerprint. Just to sell a used CD?!? I think the author of the linked article hit it on the head when he suspects the music industry of being a force behind these laws.
