[QUOTE="ShakesAllDay, post: 3355784, member: 579099"] I'm all for the don't ask don't tell policy. With a collection like the one in that eBay listing, I would be hard pressed to part with it. What if your hard drive fails... what if your backups get corrupted. Now you have 1200+ albums down the drain. That's the only thing keeping me from selling my collection. I'm just going to stick them in a few big boxes and store them away. That way, when my son gets old enough, he can go through them all and thoroughly make fun of me. So, it seems that multiple copies are allowed for personal use and/or archiving. But, said copies must be destroyed if the originals are ever sold or given away. I figured as much. Never really thought about it. But, of course, this goes against rules for computer software... supposedly, unless specifically stated, you are to have software on a single PC, even if you own multiple PCs. I'm very surprised the Microsoft allows 3 copies of their Home/Student version of Office. [/QUOTE]
