It's not legal to record a song off the radio: the license that is granted is only to the station and per play or a period of time. You as a listener have no recording rights, so there is no comparison to made between legality.

Is it illegal to sell music CDs you download from the internet?

Well, you can't download a real item such as a CD off the Internet, but if you are talking about a music CD file, then: It depends on if that music you downloaded is copyrighted. If what you download is copyrighted, then it was illegal to download that music off the Internet in the first place (unless you bought it from a place like www.last.fm or iTunes Store). If what you bought did have copyright, then it is also illegal to sell that music for profit. But, if what you bought didn't have copyright (called freeware), then it is legal to do so.
