Ouch! ..and there's still 5 days to go. Somehow I'm seeing this thing reach the cost of membership. I will laugh. Very hard.

LOL- I can see that too.

One could probably make money by having two memberships and selling the additional cd on ebay each time.

Damn those oppurtunists!

I guess they liked the CD so much they just had to get rid of it.

thanx moonbeam. NOW THIS IS A QUALITY POST !

I think somebody copied 'One Nite Alone' to a CD-R and then decided to put the original up for sale on eBay.

This ones for the rich - not all of them, just the greedy!

I suppose that people do have the right to sell this if they please, but it makes me sick to my stomach.

Well spotted Moonbeam!

You just made me treasure my ONA CD a lot more!

O.K! Who sold it!!!!???

Moonbeam said:

well they don't have the right if they are contractually binded not to sell them. otherwise they do.

I can't believe its at $76 & there are 4 days left before the auction ends.

It doesn't sicken me - I think its hilarious. Anyone could have joined the club for $100 & would get 4 cds or not join the club & spend a fortune buying them elsewhere. $76 & counting on this cd. Is there some logic at work here???

I see now there are 2 more auctions for ONA since this one started.

They took ONA off of Ebay. I guess the NPGMC got to them!

Okay these quotes come from the gd.
here's what i think of it.

That would be the provision that they would like to apply.
However it speaks of "Content". That word was used already in the agreement of last year for the downloads and is what usually applies to "Digital content" supplied by an internet subscription service.

The thing is they now send out normal cd's, it's no internet transfer of copies no more. With normal cd's it is always the case that once you have purchased them legally you can sell, lend, hire or otherwise legally dispose them. That's your first sale right and it's very precious. It is highly disputed in legal literature if an "innocent" consumer can 'sign away' his first sale rights that are acknowledged by law, especially when he enters a contractual relationship over the internet through a 'click and go' license.

But the problem with OrionRising's behaviour is that it is willfully intended commercial behaviour . OR's behaviour shows that his only goal of purchasing the ONA album was to sell it as quickly as possible with making commercial gain almost reaching the price of an annually club membership.

This behaviour clearly can not be tolerated in a club like this who depends on getting their cd's out to the member public first and exclusively. Not even all the cd's have been send out and it is already being sold on ebay. This is not doing the club much good, so it could be held to be seen as tortuous behaviour and or breach of contract, or deceit if the provision is broadly interpretated and a judge is willing to take the club' s stance over the deceiting stance of OrionRising.

I wouldn't give OR much chance in court.
