I'll expand on this point later, but let me insert a note here that CD burning has always been with us. Only back in my day, it was called "home taping." (Ah, the TDK SA-C90 cassette!)
This practice was (and probably still is) an excellent music-discovery medium, second perhaps only to radio. Taping friends' LPs is how I discovered Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, and many other acts that I later went on to spend lots of money on. For acts that you like, eventually you prefer to own an "official" copy, not something that lacks cover art and where you made the label using a Sharpie.
As it was, so it shall always be.
