Purchasing Music...after that it's mine right?
My biggest beef with the RIAA is that for 20 years I have been buying music. The RIAA now contends that I am purchasing "the music". And the purchase of downloads shows that the CD is not included in that cost, or at least is not a significant portion of it. We all know that it costs practically nothing to make a CD or tape.

So in my opinion, that music is MINE!!! Every CD I ever purchased and lost or had someone steal from me is still mine. I purchased it and the rights to listen to it.

Thus at that point I should be able to buy blank CD's and have them give me all of my lost CD's, plus new non-scratched versions of the ones I still have, back for the cost of recording....25 cents.

If they do that, I'll stop file swapping and recording from all my friends.
