Promos have fallen into the twilight zone. They cannot be sold, given, donated, inherite, destroye, rented, displayed, publicly playe. As a matter of fact they cannot even be promoted unless there is a performance or display license.

When you go, just put them in your casket.

Are these listed as plaintiffs? Are these a necessary party? If not, the lawsuit may be able to take off, if a shrewd lawyer is representing the defendant. After all, maybe the beneficial owner does not object to the reselling of records, whether promo or not.

They should be banned, by law. Again, the legal warnings on CD/DVD labels, even the FBI ones, twist the meaning of the law or are plainly wrong. They should be banned, by law.
