I don't know if I've ever agreed more with a single post as I do this one. Word for word.
One music store I miss was "Disco Round", a chain of locations where people would bring in their used CD's, the store would buy them or give a credit that could be used to buy other used CD's. Kind of like those old comic book recycle shops from way way back where you'd take in a stack of used comics, trade them in and get a bunch of 'new' ones to take home.
Strangely I don't recall anyone from any of those industries crying that those businesses were hurting the artists.
