I did the same thing. It'll go locked away once it dies. I'll never get rid of it.

Mine was going to be locked away. But I took a knife to it to get it open, and sort of damaged the plastic front and scratched the clickwheel badly. The blade bent out completely, and the case looks like it was run over by a semi-trailer, so now it looks less than second-hand. Oops. But I got all the albums included with it anyway, so that was alright. Eventually I just bought the entire set of albums (I don't bother with singles) as CDs and now I've got them like that and spent a whole night re-ripping and re-tagging them all.
I've no problems with buying the DVDs, albums, singles (if I see them) because like Molang, I've no issues with it...always top stuff. Only thing I copy and trade is the bootlegs because you obviously can't buy them, and rip the soundtrack out and re-master it a bit.

It's a shame what happened with your iPiece. Enjoying your classic? (we can continue in technology btw)

Originally posted by LikeASongI have all U2 Albums officially bought or given as gifts, and most of DVDs (only Boston 01 and POPMart are left) so my U2-conscience is clean. Regarding other artists, me and my family have about 100 vinyls and 250 CDs officially bought, so our conscience is also clean. However, I have downloaded many, many official material. The U2 singles, for example. Or some Beatles albums. Or Mothership, from Led Zeppelin.
But I do NOT consider it illegal, only "amoral". I have one very near example: my grandfather IS an artist, with his own disc label, etc. and he downloads music from eMule
