That's a good enough reason for keeping them IMO.
yea sorta

you can avoid loss of digital copies by mirror copying your hard drive to multiple hard drives which get stored in different locations which would include at least one fire proof location. If the RIAA or anyone else thinks I wouldnt have multiple hard drives given the rate of hard drive failure, then fine..ill be happy to use my legal skills to defend myself against any fair use silliness. bring it on! I paid alot of money for those discs and ill protect my investment my way even if it means making 50 digital copies of Xanadu

its impossible to safeguard your CD collection at this level...considering, break-in theft, fire, moving company loss, etc....

so how valuable as backups are the hard copies really?
