Excuse me, but I kindly disagree on most of your points, if not all.

1st If you bought an analog tape and want it digital, you didn't buy the digital version. I know it's hard, but it's a fact. you are the owner of a license to an analog tape (it's more technical, but in short), you don't have access with your contract to the digital version. It's like if you bough a car, then a new model arrives and you go to the dealership and steal the new model... only there you do it digitally.

2nd I had the same situation with a dvd, I went to a shop, pay $ to the shopkeeper who put my dvd in a small scratch removal machine it did wonder. Again if your car is scratch do you go steal a new one?

3nd I am deeply sorry for this one, but I can't say it other way, if you are that stupid to something with unbelievable drm and what not on it. you deserve what you got. to take the analogy you needed a very urban cars because you have a small garage, and buy a pick up truck so big that it didn't fit your garage. Who's fault is it? Again yours, because you were unable to read or understand what you were buying.

4nd NO quite the contrary. I want nothing from you. I was just expressing my contrarian opinions. I didn't want to hurt you or shock your feeling. But if you want my opinion you could stick to open sourced music (or drm free - dmca free), and support your local artist why not with bitcoin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronage or be a thief. your life your choice, just face the consequences. However I really like to read your opinions, even if I disagree. thx for sharing.
