Well, but what defines the "deal"? If it is the law we are back with laws and not what is ethical.

I didn't say that you couldn't thow it away - of course you can. However, if I were to throw it away, I'd break it in two first to ensure that it couldn't be used by anyone else.

Then I misunderstood your comment. But you said that "you should" keep the original and that is a moral/ethical statement. So I really think you said that it is ethical wrong to throw away the original.
And how do you take into considerations the ethical problem with destroying resources? I think is is pretty immoral to throw something away which you could have given away to somebody poor that could not afford to buy it.
