If a dvd at sale at walmart had the walmart stores info and bar code on file was found on torrents , is it not reasonable to assume someone could have stolen the dvd from the store, or even if it had customer purchase info , they could have had it stolen or sold/traded it ?

on that topic , is it legal to sell your dvd after you finished watching it

Actually im suprised someone hasn't created a website that lets you buy used copies of movies/games/music on the fly

for example . if i buy a dvd at bestbuy i can legally sell it to my friend i think. so if i sell it to a friend the next day for $1 and he sells it to a friend for $1 to 20 friends, the money changing hands is the same as the cost of the dvd.

If one were to make a website that lets you buy and sell used movies, you could make a system where "seeders" give up their used movies/games they bought at the store and sell them to the next guy waiting for $2 , he now sells the movie back to the original purchaser for lets say $1.90 , costing him .10 cents to watch a movie , purchaser makes 10 cents and has the movie back , he can now repeat the process. if 10,000 people buy his movie for 10 cents he has made $100 , and i believe it would all be legal ( not legal advice lol )
