For years users have been selling their old music players on eBay, but just recently with the launch of the iPod video, users are starting to sell pre-loaded iPods filled with music and video. A 60GB iPod video loaded with 11,800 songs, with a starting bid of $799. The iPod alone would cost about $400. Such sellers are making money from copies of content they purchased. Though on the surface that might seem the same as selling pirated copies of CDs and DVDs, the legalities aren’t clear-cut, say experts in digital copyright law. But it doesn’t really matter anymore, eBay has caught onto this and will now cancel any auction selling pre-loaded players.
