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?

Say what?? What does any of this have to do with the rights of copyright holders, or the status of authorized/unauthorized copies of copyrighted work?

Could you please elaborate on the reasons that you think:

1. A CD at Joe's Used CD Shop is not a licensed copy.

2. A song you download on Kazaa is not an unlicensed copy.
