Because when you sell your cd used you give up ownership of it and the 
person who buys it takes up  that ownership.  Ripping that same cd to 
mp3 and freely distributing it is a world apart.

No different then buying a piece of software, cracking it, and then 
bartering with the crack for other cracked software.

Honestly its hard not to do so ever.  At least for me.  I just try to 
be as moralistic about it as possible.  Always pay when i can.  If i 
cant afford all the music i want then the bigger labels wont be getting 
my money but smaller joe's like you or me.  Its still wrong and i guess 
thats my justification for it, but at least i am being honest.
