Murfie: Questionable or Legit?

An new start-up, Murfie, just received $1.4 million in funding to continue their business. Their business consists of buying used CD’s from customers, storing said CD’s, and then ripping them to sell downloads. People are already talking about the copyright violations that may be occurring. A similar site, ReDigi, is being sued by EMI for essentially doing the same thing. The difference is that Murfie takes possession of the CDs, a factor that may keep the lawsuits away for a time. In my opinion, Murfie seems to be profiting from singers and songwriters by piracy. In due time the truth will come out…there is sure to be a lawsuit if the site continues to grow.
