I'm not talking about downloading what you already own - I only do this if I'm too lazy to get up and rip the CD. I've done this with Dream Theater's Train of Thought a lot of times.
I use that example because, had I not began downloading music, my music "collection" would still consist of the one and only CD Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP. If the RIAA had their way with the internet, it'd still be that way.
