>From what I've read in the posts, all of which made perfect sense, and from what I personally believe, the contract of physical music purchase of a CD (or DVD or any recorded work on a digital medium) exists with you and your possession of the physical goods and any receipt of purchase. Any copy you make is subject to copyright laws applicable to your region (Law). If you have purchased something, it's yours(Law). If you copied something and then had the original stolen and it was insured, then once you replace that purchase, through again a lawful purchase, it's yours again(Law), and the copy is subject to the same copyright laws as before(Law), except that now it's not a copy of what you had previously purchased....That's getting sticky - any lawyer want to step in here, go ahead, but I'd suggest that you shouldn't have that copy in your possession(Ethics). If you copy it and then sell it or give it away, you're a thief(Law). So, ethics really don't come into it very much, it's just a matter of intrinsically knowing when you have the right to something and when you don't, and generally the law, through precedent or process, is pretty clear on that.
