Thanks to a provision in the 1976 Copyright Act, U.S. law allows the first purchaser of copyrighted material (a book, CD, etc) to subsequently re-sell that item without the copyright owner's consent. In this age of online distribution and the budding, halting attempts at legitimizing it, is the the right to re-sell going to be upheld?

I know it's somewhat off topic, but since I heard some people speaking here who seem to know something about legal stuff:
How is it possible that a new ordinary cd costs E 21.99 in Holland (where I live), and in Germany, for example, only E 16.99? And in the US it's about $ 16 (If I'm not mistaken).
I just had to throw that out.... I thought we had a European 'Union' here... The only thing it could be good for (comparable prices in Western Europe) and IT refuses to do so... Probably because the 'high ones' in Brussel/Strassburg can't enrich themselves with this issue...
