I feel the same way about iTunes.
I try not to buy much of anything there except maybe a single song from an album that I'm interested in. If I like that song, I usually go out and buy the CD and then over write the iTunes version.
Yes, it is a waste of money in that I already bought a song from the CD but I view it as 'damaged' in some psychic/cosmic way.
I somehow accumulated several iTunes accounts and found out that some of the earlier purchases from iTunes couldn't be played anymore on my iMac or ipod. I feel foolish but not for forgetting the account (which I really can't remember) but for paying for music from a site that would deny me the right to listen to the tracks on my own computer. Is it more stupid to buy heavily restricted music or to forget a username/password. I think the former.
