OK, so if it's a CDRW, you can just write over it. But if it's a CDR you have
to eat the material cost. If you intend to repurchase the CD, can you just
hang on to the copy, not accessing the data -- just storing it, and then use it
again once you renew your license?
Why don't the music companies just license the music and get out of the media
business altogether? It seems like a losing proposition anyway.
