Also, he saved 8 dollars by using Amazon. That's enough for another CD.

Mentioning CDs reminds me that the price of physical CDs on Amazon in some cases has dipped below $0. For some CDs, Amazon throws in the MP3 download (with the usual cloud storage) for "free". The funny thing is, the price of the CD+MP3 is sometimes less than the MP3 alone, even with shipping. Check the Velvet Underground's back catalog for some examples.

Now, if you pirated that mp3 track (with negative sale price), would that be "stealing"? :-)

But seriously: if you sell the CD, should you delete your MP3s?
