Thanks for the non-destructive scanning link, Arlo. As for “first sale” doctrine (I’ll have to read up on that), I have on occasion used the “buy it once” principle with respect to music, but not until recent times. Over the past four decades, I have bought most of John Denver’s albums on vinyl, 8-track, cassette, and CD. After spending maybe 300 inflation-adjusted dollars for the same content, I feel morally justified for getting a copy from a torrent, maybe even using an industrial partner in crime (i.e. iTunes Match) to get near-perfect versions.
