Do musicians get royalties from used CD sales?

No, musicians do not receive royalties from used CD sales. Royalties, which represent payments to rights holders like musicians, are generated whenever their sound recordings are reproduced or otherwise disseminated in a legally specified manner. This usually occurs at the point of first sale, such as when a new CD is purchased from a retailer. However, once that product is subsequently sold from one individual to another in the used market, no new reproduction or dissemination takes place. Therefore, no additional royalty payments are triggered by these transactions.
