Is there a place and is it okay to trade cd's on the forum?  I did a quick search and I didn't turn anything up!  I think it would be great if we could setup at least a place to post and trade with others on the forum!

Well, do you mean by mail? If not, you're promoting an illegal activity.

hahhaha....  yes I thought that is what he meant as well.   I know that in the past the site has allowed people the sell their CD's here, with a disclaimer of course that the site is not responsible for all deals gone bad.  Probably the same would hold true with trading, but lets face it,  with paranoia and distrust rampant in our collective psyches.  If you aren't an established member here... you aren't going to have many takers. I know I am not sending my DT CD to someone I don't know, in the hopes I get a Streisand album in return.

Even if you don't get the Streisand album, you lose the DT, so you win!

I've done snail-mail trading before.  Order a lot at once, as it's not economical to do otherwise.  Also, have a list of stuff around for reference (if you're corresponding through e-mail.)  If you're chatting over AIM, tell the person what genres you have a lot of.

For instance, I have a lot of Jazz, Jam band, live prog and post rock.

I tried this once and it failed miserably.

There's a site somewhere that does this in a more organized and culpable fashion, but I don't remember what it was called.

Well, just a suggestion.. I belong to the forum over at progressiveears as well as this one... there they have a great trading system setup.   I've done a couple big trades myself and everything worked out perfectly...  A lot of prog cd's can be hard to come by and god knows prog listeners usually have nice size cd collections... sometimes it's nice to be able to move out some old stuff for some new stuff!  

Anyhow, I was just wondering, thanks!

I use lala.com some as well... it's pretty interesting, not for everybody, but I've got some good stuff there by trading a lot of my "junk" cds.

Sorry to say iyt, but this is also illegal:
 

FBI Warning New
 
Trading material could be considered illegal distributuion if an etensive interpretation is done, the text says:
 
Quote "Warning: The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."

A last word to the wise:Unauthorized use of the FBI seal, name, and initials are subject to prosecution under Federal Criminal law, including Sections 701, 709, and 712 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

 
For more information:
 
Quote [Trade groups representing movie, game and music publishers announced today that all new CDs, DVDs and games sold in the United States will shortly feature an FBI warning label warning about serious consequences that unauthorized copying might cause to the person violating copyright laws.

The label will replace the old variety of labels already shown in most of the media products and will also be significantly more visible on the product cover. The new warning says "The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."

Trade groups behind the initiative were MPAA, RIAA and ESA (Entertainment Software Association that represent video game publishers).
 
 
I don't want to be a spoiler but my duty as member is to protect the site so as always I have to say for legal purpose:
 
Prog Archives doesn't encourage, admits or even accepts the use this site to promote illegal activities. If you are do this, it's at your own risk but please don't involve the site.
 
Prog Archives is not part in any private trading of copyrighted material done by their members and each person is responsible for their own posts.
 
Iván

Selling new or refurbished CDs or vinyls is hardly an "illegal activity" ... that's not what they meant by "distribution".

Swapping CDs ... I can't see what should be illegal about that. As long as we're not talking about burned CDs but originals, the swapping is totally fine. I've never heard of any case against people who give away CDs for free (that's what it is - you give your CD to someone for no charge and receive another CD from that person for no charge) ... not here (Germany) and not in the U.S..
