Again, I buy CD's.  But another legitimate beef with
the media companies is the ludicrous elongation of copyright
over the past several decades.  The joke I've heard is that
copyright terms will always be extended to support the age
of Disney's Mickey Mouse :-)   There was a Supreme Court
case in past few years that Congress's extensions weren't
"reasonable and beneficial" (can't recall the precise constitutional
language), but the challengers lost.

Of course, we all know that copyright does not extend legally
or philosophicall from property rights, at least in the States.
