Alright.  Buying the LP gives you liscense to listen to that piece of
sound.  Also, that tape recorder decision gives you the right to tape
that sound for yourself (not for others).

The CD has the same sound (Same mastering usually?) or sometimes better
sound quality of the same stuff.

You already have liscense to record that sound so therefore you have
the right to record your friends CD since it's the same sound.

In fact, an argument could be made that since you already have liscense
for that sound then if you buy a CD of the same thing then all you should
be paying for is media!

Let the opinions continue ...
