Derrick buys a CD, but after listening to it, decides he doesn't like the music. May he legally sell the CD to someone else? If he thinks his cousin would enjoy the music, may he legally copy the CD for her?

Copying and giving away a copy of the CD would be unfair to the owner of the copyright, who would not receive compensation for the intellectual property rights.
