Or, if you've bought CDs over the course of your life, somewhat less via fair use.
Say all you want about the "content cartel" being evil. I think it would be great if content creators could sell their own work directly, and I think it's silly to try to restrict how someone who purchases content uses it (within the bounds of the concept of Fair Use). Meanwhile, I'm not going to steal books OR music, if there's a way to pay the content creators through the only channels they currently get paid through.
(Out of print books or music are a different story.)
