Alot of people use this example, about it getting scratched and everything, but it's not going to get scratched after I rip it to my computer.
Yeah true, in which case buying the album online off iTunes isn't much different from buying the CD and then ripping it onto your computer. The only difference is that you get the physical copy of the CD as well with the cover art etc (which I admit I do enjoy having ) but the fact that the ripped files are more important to you than the hard copy kind-of renders the hard-copy useless. Although I do like having the hard copies of CDs and like flipping through the cover art etc, it just seems more efficient/economical/environmentally friendly to buy it online.
