Alas, I fear it may already be too late.

There is nothing wrong with making mp3s of discs you own for the reasons you describe. The problem is people throwing open their mp3 collection to the world.
BeOS was demonstrated to me during my senior year of college. The guy giving the talk played upwards of two dozen mp3s, a dozen or so movie trailers, the GL teapot thing, etc. simultanously. None of the apps skipped a beat. Then, he pulled out the showstopper.
He yanked the plug on the box.
Within 20 seconds or so of restarting, the machine was chugging away with all of its media files in the place they were when they were halted, as if nothing had happened.

Don't you see? This is all leading up to the landing of the first Mullet on the Moon©!
If it could warn us when NBC is about to put on one of its cheesy shows it would be worth it.
