RIAA wants ReDigi out of the business of selling "used" iTunes tracks

ReDigi must "quarantine any copies on its servers of our Member's sound recordings so that those recordings are not exploited in any manner," the RIAA's Jennifer L. Pariser insists. On top of that, ReDigi must erase from its website "all references to the names and likenessess of artists signed to RIAA members" and break any ongoing connections between the operation's current downloaders and its servers.

Next, RIAA wants ReDigi to fork over "an accounting of all sales achieved and revenue generated" from RIAA member sound recordings through the ReDigi service, "so that we can discuss a resolution of our Members' claims."

Finally comes this kicker: "After our Members' claims are resolved, we expect that you will destroy the quarantined sound recordings."

Funny thing is that, in case you pirate your music, this won't harm you in any way at all while the RIAA continues to stomp on every newcomer in this business while refusing to adapt to the new times.
