I've definitely seen some sites where, under the FAQ's, they answer the question, "What if I want to give a particular download as a gift (by means of a flash drive or whatever)?" They say you can do it, as long as you delete the file on your own hard drive once you've given the file away.
As for keeping the rips of CD's etc on your own drive after you've gotten rid of the physical product, my understanding is that that is not legal, strictly speaking. However, in practice, I doubt that most users are that scrupulous.

Chris,
I don't really understand why we talk about the law in these situations. The law is unenforced and unenforceable . . . other than for mass counterfeiting and sale.
Creators of media entertainment take full financial advantage of the technology and price their products knowing full well that copying is part of the sale, part of the deal. Their accompanying legal pronouncements notwithstanding.
In fact, in the days of cassettes, I broke the law with Ivan Moravec one time! He was telling me that he wished he could hear the Cortot re-orchestration of the Chopin Second Piano Concerto. I made a cassette copy of my Haskil/Markevitch recording of that work (which uses the Cortot orchestration) and gave it to him the next day! I'm hoping the statute of limitations has expired for my criminal act! ;-)
