Are the publishers to keep all titles available forever? (I think they should, I wish they would, but the trouble is, they don't...)
Not only that, but most media (software, music, video) that you buy nowadays, says that you are not buying the content. You are only receiving a license to use the content. Under that rationale, if your media become damaged or stolen (and you can provide proof purchase), the publisher should replace them four only the cost of new media (e.g., $2 for a DVD, $.25 for a CD, and so on). But I have a hard time believing that it happens that way. -Roberto
