Isn't that life anyway? We're only on earth for a short time. You can't take your music to the grave with you, so why not accept its never really yours anyway?

  This isn't about accepting it's "not really yours". This is about accepting it's actually someone else's that then has control about what you can and can't do. That entity will often be on earth for even a smaller time than you before it goes bankrupt or loses interest in that product. So you get to spend your short time on earth dealing with product obsolescence instead of owning your stuff while you're alive and even being able to pass it on to your children. It's a terrible bargain.

  No, it isn't. You don't need to take your music to the grave, those who come after you can inherit it. It can be 'yours' if you want it, as long as you managed to avoid the traps set by those who'd like you to believe there is no other way so you might as well accept it and just pay, and pay, and pay again.

  well, if you were careful enough when you bought that "The Dark Side of the Moon" LP vinyl you'd have a collectors item but - most importantly - a media record you can play anytime you want without having had to pay thousands over the course of a lifetime. Just a little cash 44 years ago.

  Really? I have my grandfathers and fathers vinyl records. They still play just fine. I'll give them to my daughter. Probably still going to play just fine. That's not going to change because Chess Records is out of business or Universal decided to change the EULA when it bought Motown.
