Actually, aren't most RIAA cases done in civil court? If so, it seems that they might be afraid of this because it might be hard to prove damages... And there is a distinction between selling used CDs (which I hate the RIAA for fighting their sale) and promoting your customers to rip a copy before returning. I don't think the store is breaking the law anymore than a Ford dealer would be breaking the law if it told people to buy a Mustang and take it to 100mph. But isn't copying a CD for the purpose of selling the original against the law? I'm not too well read up on this, but I thought we could only make copies as backups (and one copy as a gift?) or something.
Either way, I was just trying to make conversation. I'm not a big supporter of the RIAA.
