Not at all, CD's also vanish exactly the same way. At some point it is no longer profitable to print those, no longer profitable to keep those in the shelves, no longer profitable to have them in the storage and they vanish.

Those who have them begin using them as frisbees, decoration or simply trash them.

The CDs weren't ripped from active listener's libraries and made unavailable by an uncaring corporation; they deteriorated with time and use.

When I bought that Nirvana CD I bought it for life, and no one has the right to revoke my ability to listen to it.

There is a difference.
