I wrote: CD you buy at Joe's Used CD Shop: a licensed copy. Song you download on Kazaa: an unlicensed copy. All very simple.

Lower55 responded: Wrong.

Care to elaborate? Which part is wrong -- that the CD you buy is a licensed copy? Or that the song you download is an unlicensed one?

[Lower55]

Which part is wrong--

the song you download is an unlicensed one?

Yes, that part is wrong.

[Lower55]

Actually, both are.

[Lower55]

Come to think of it, the first example is more wrong than the second.

What's wrong is your notion you have any idea what you are talking about.

How much would/should it cost to get a scratched or skipping CD replaced at a record shop?

What percent of the sales price is the IP worth?

Where can I bring a case of unlistenable lps, tapes, cds to be exchanged for new copies? How much should they cost to replace?

If one buys a cd, loses it, then get's a copy from a friend, did one pay the licensing fee?

If your home burns, and you lose a 500 cd collection, do you have to replace it at full price?

What if the albums are no longer available?

How many times should one pay the piper for the same song?
