What continually gets my blood boiling and has done since CD's came out is that when we buy our recordings from the shop we are only licensed to be able to listen to the tunes. We don't actually own them. And yet these greedy fsckers expect me to pay full price all over again to get the media on which the sounds came on upgraded i.e. vinyl to CD. I already paid for the right to listen to the tunes yet no one in government is interested protecting my rights to be able to move formats. Which is why I will continue to line the pockets of my local pirate at a couple of quid a shot to move my vinyl to digital formats.
