I’m sure that somewhere in my stacks of CDRs, I have one or two MP3 rips of this audiobook. And because I am, of course, a scrupulous and fastidious observer of all national and international intellectual property laws as well as end-user license agreements, I do have to wonder: Suppose I want to listen to the audiobook again? Should I go to the library and check out their (my, donated) CD box of it, and have it sit there, mutely unopened as I listen to the MP3s?
This is starting to have the feel of sympathetic magic about it, or at least of pumpkinry.
