I guess I could argue that there are a fair number I bought in the early nineties I'm probably not going to listen to anymore, and keep the ones I might so won't infringe the licensing.


We used Sky movies a few times & you could buy a DVD to stream immediately, but they then posted you the DVD of the film you'd already watched to satisfy the licencing (I assume)

Look at Music Magpie.


Someone just told me they got a good price for gardening books of all things, but they mainly do CDs I think.


You can put them in one by one and get a quote. If you download their app you can scan in each barcode and get a quote.


No idea if it's worth doing, but worth a look maybe?


They pay postage.

We music magpied all our cd's a while back. Some (many) of them you get 5p for, some you get a couple off quid.

You'll look at the boxes and think you spent a tenner each and it represents thousands of pounds and you're getting a fraction of that, but it's easy and better than nowt...


As for the licensing that ship has sailed. My moral compass says I paid for it before, everyone who deserves paying got their money already so it makes sod all difference if I still have the cd or not.

They're original CDs, my attempts to make it as a pop star haven't made it out of the shower (yet!)


I might start working through the boxes & flogging the ones I don't listen to anymore. I guess I can delete the music from the cloud, & that would meet the licencing requirements.

As reassurance, the Government notes that that people shouldn?t be too concerned because copyright holders are not known to come after people who make a backup of their computers.


?The Government is not aware of any cases of copyright holders having prosecuted individuals for format shifting music solely for their own personal use,? the IPO spokesperson says. From https://torrentfreak.com/itunes-is-illegal-under-uk-copyright-law-150805/

      Fireworks

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
