If I paid for it, and the studio got a cut of the money I paid for (i.e. I bought it new, not used), then I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want with it. They got my money, so whether I still have the disc or not isn't any of their damn business.

And I'm certainly not making any profit by selling them - I'm still losing a decent chunk of change (if I get 50% of what I paid for it back, that's way above average), and that money's not being taken away from the studios at all. They still got their percentage from me.

If there's legal ramifications to that, they can charge me or sue me, but they can be damn sure I'll fight it until I win or can't fight anymore.

It's still stealing. If you sold all your DVDs 2nd hand but retained copies of all those movies then you're depriving the artists of the revenue from the sale of that full-priced copy to the next person.

Not that I'm necassarily saying I disagree with what you've done or am against some pirating but I thought I should point that out because it sounded like you were mistakenly under the impression that you were doing zero harm to the movie business.

I pirate some stuff but I also spend every penny I can afford on films (I have hundreds, so many infact that I dare not count them lol) so I'm happy that my pirating isn't costing the industy anything. e.g. anything I pirate is just stuff I would NEVER buy anyway. Pirating is cool IMO as long as you are realistic about it and make some kind of contribution.
