Why? Either legally or from a commonsense perspective, why?

I would say that in America the law is not clear, so I personally would advise keeping them. I would say that the law is way behind the technology still. If we are talking purely LEGALLY that is. I am fairly sure that if you can prove you bought and paid for (or otherwise legally obtained) the original, you would be safe, LEGALLY.
But that is my opinion, and not the opinion of a lawyer or judge, so take that as you may.
