Am I allowed to have a digital version of 'Star Wars' I got
from Bit Torrent if I own a 10 year old VHS copy??
Good luck find digital versions of stuff you have on VHS If it's that old, it's not likely someone has bothered to rip it You mean a rip of a digital version ? Provided they are the same content, I couldnt' see why not
What you suggest above is what got MP3.com into trouble. MP3 decided that if the end user owned the original CD they should have access to an MP3 version on our servers.
That's the server side of the DL equation.
On the client side, if he has a rip of media that he owns, I don't think it matters how he got it, he's allowed to have it.
