In the strict sense that's true. However on deeper analysis it's clear
that as with cars, part of the sale value of CD's takes account of the
resale value. Therefore if the band are on a percentage royalty then a
healthy secondhand market does add to their income. Basic piracy
obviously doesn't unless it serves to bring new buyers into the process.
