When I buy a CD, I have purchased the right to listen to the songs on that CD. I have also purchased the rights to copy those songs for personal use. (i.e. Making a Tape copy of the CD or a mixed tape is protected extended copyright upon purchase)

With all the recent attempts at screwy legislation (some successful, others not - for now), it seems to me that, when you buy a CD, all you purchase is the right to walk out of the store with a piece of plastic without the alarm going off. Anything you do with it afterwards is a privilege that the RIAA generously grants you. Yeah, of course that's not the case right now but are you willing to bet it still won't be the case 15 years from now. I honestly don't know...
