The RIAA lawsuits against the 13y.o. Napster kids is that they purchased a single license to the listening rights for the digital media on that CD, which cannot be shared. There was no money exchanged, nor physical CD's. The issue of contention was virtual media.

Using that same logic, when you purchase an iPod track, you should have the ability to tranfer those listening rights to any mechanical device, and for however long a period, correct?
You've purchased the media, not rented it, correct?.

Personally, I want replacement Metallica CDs sent to me, because their media delivery system(vinyl) only lasts a certain number of years/play. Unfortunately, the lossy digital CD compression would be a downgrade from analog.
