If you buy a car and it breaks down after the warranty has expired, are you allowed to use 3rd party tools and equipment to fix it (to restore the functionality you paid for)?
When you buy a CD, you're not paying for a plastic disc. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter to you which disc you bought. It wouldn't matter if it's a disc with music from the Sex Pistols or Justin Bieber on it. When you buy a CD, you are paying for the right to listen to certain numbers. If that disc breaks down, imo, you still have the right to listen to the music you paid for. Whether you restore that functionality by using your own backup copy or by copying it from a friend's CD or by downloading it doesn't matter. You paid for the music, not a plastic disc.
