I will admit that I've downloaded a bit of music, as I'm lazy and some of my cd's are old. I figure I have the right to download any and all of the CD's I've purchased. But, here's the question, I bought some Imports a number of years ago for $28 each, and when my car got broken into, they stole all of my CD's. I paid for the music. Should I not have the right to it? What if I rip all of my cd's and somebody steals them, do I lose the right to the MP3's? I'm thinking that I should go out and download everything I have on CD itself over and over so that the RIAA will sue me, and I can walk into court with the CD's and say "Hey, I own this music"......
