Ok, I paid for the CD, why do I not have the right to play the music on my MP3 player which only has legal music on it?

BMG once explained to me that what I buy isn't the music but the right to listen to it. Like with a cinema ticket - I am allowed to watch the movie, but it is not mine.



Same goes for the CDs - I got the right to listen to it, but BMG reserves its right to say that I am not allowed to copy it.



(at least that is their point of view)

I barely download any music now. We should all encourage music producing and buy CDs. And anyways, I cant find any of the music I enjoy on the net :)
