Used Movie Selling Tips
A Warning About Selling Movies You’ve Converted to Digital Copies
If you used a service like Vudu to do a disc to digital conversion, or you have a movie that came with an UltraViolet copy, know that selling your original copy of the movie after you’ve converted it may not be such a hot idea. While it’s still very much a grey area, selling the actual physical copy of a movie could be interpreted as breaking the licensing agreement or copyright law because you still retain a digital copy of the movie. This means two separate households have access to the movie—one through the disc and one through the digital file—and that’s not what the studios intended. The law has some catching up to do on this issue, but it’s probably best to stay clear of this problem. If you don’t want a bunch of movies taking up space in your home, switch to buying digital files. They don’t require shelf space or dusting or leave you treading in murky resale waters.
