SDNY: ReDigi's Digital Music Resale Service Not Protected by First Sale Doctrine | Practical Law
In Capitol Records, LLC v. ReDigi, Inc., the US District Court for the Southern District of New York held on summary judgment that ReDigi's operation of a digital music service that allowed users to upload and resell their purchased music files infringed Capitol's reproduction and distribution copyrights. The court rejected ReDigi's defense that it was protected by the first sale doctrine.
