Since then I have accumulated a collection of over 550 CDs. Will the music companies reimburse me for all those crappy tapes? If they even dare to accuse me of having any illegal music files they are going to have a firestorm on their hands.
I have ripped my entire collection into MP3s and I never download MP3s except legally (about 12 songs) from garageband.com. But with the way Fair Use is disappearing, I can see that not too long hence it will be illegal to have copies of music one owns just as I do. Disgusting...a ten-year old Steve Winwood CD for $16! Is that supposed to encourage us to buy more CDs? No thank you!
