Nice to know that the parents of America are teaching their children good
values in terms of piracy. <snicker>
Seriously, though, I find collecting CD's to be a very fufilling endeavor...
sure, it's expensive, but there's nothing cooler than to find some out-of
print or import single of a favorite group, showing it off to all of my
friends, and having them envy the fact that I own a full copy, with the
cover art, liner notes, lyrics, etc. You can't get that same feeling of
ownership with a CD-R disc.

See above... I find that the art work and literature are very, very important
to the personal value of owning a piece of music. It's kinda' like telling a
person who listens to classical music to see their favorite symphony orchestra
in a acousitcally perfect venue that's got all kinds of technological wizardry
and modern architecture. Sure, the sound will be the same or better, but the
experience isn't as rich as it'd be to see them at some large, grand concert
hall, such as Lincoln Center. Removing the bits and pieces that surround the
music somehow cheapens the experience.
