Yes it seems that in fanciful moral quandaries I take a more lax position but when it comes to real deeds I'm saintly ;)
Around fifty from about eight years ago, I initially thought they would be fun to collect but I've since decided that I can't afford to spend all of my money on cumbersome physical media (you'll have to kill me before I stop buying books though) and I was becoming sort of obsessed with cartridges and playback and reducing static and everything else that goes with vinyl to the point that most of my listening experience was straining after imperfections in playback so I could weed them out... It was hurting my enjoyment of the music.
