RE: Giving up on downloads

"the system would access your library and delete any copies"?? Really??
And never make any mistakes as to what is deleted?? Talk about being invasive!! And what about the safety copy I have on my 4TB USB disk??

Like I said elsewhere, distributors know there will be copying and (should) factor that into their pricing.

Dealers of old CDs apart, hobbyists are unloading their CD and SACD collections while keeping the files with safety copies. They sound better and are much easier to handle as files. Others are copying from friends and from public libraries. No amount of legal pontificating is going to stop this. Most of the material, I think, would not be purchased new or is OOP anyway. I do buy CDs from time to time, but almost never new. Really no reason to buy new. CDs are not like LPs.
