Relevance
The Personics system in the record store is the first media playback device. The customer's CD player is the second media playback device. The transaction is off-line because it occurs in the record store, rather than on the Internet.
Passages 3:8-12 and 5:43-60 discusses storing proof of the off-line transaction.
Passage 3:8-12 indicates that the proceeds from the transactin are paid both to the copyright holder and the first user (i.e., the record store).
