The artist requires to be paid a royalty for each copy of his/her CD. This payment is required only a single time (paid by first user). The CD even if it is a used one is therefore legal(if not copied). But downloading is different, one pays noing for downloads and the artist doesnt get the profit he/she deserves. This explains the difference. If you find this info useful, Please vote!!!
