Not to rain down upon our readers a series of warnings from the beloved RIAA, but we thought it a good idea to bring to everyone's attention a scenario in which one might unintentionally open one's self up to legal action from the aforementioned organization. MTV reports that, as people upgrade their iPods to bigger and better models, more and more units are showing up for sale or auction on websites such as eBay and Craiglist ... fully loaded with songs. This can be a dangerous situation for the seller.

As the RIAA has said:

“Selling an iPod preloaded with music is no different than selling a DVD onto which you have burned your entire music collection… Either act is a clear violation of U.S. copyright law. The RIAA is monitoring this means of infringement… Unlawful reproduction or distribution is infringement. There is no fair use when someone is getting a complete copy of a work, especially a creative work and especially when it could have an adverse impact on the marketplace for selling or licensing that work… In short: seller beware.”

So please be sure to remove all the songs or the RIAA will be comming to get ya...LOL
