"I can't imagine any court ruling that one party should keep both copy and original because of copyright infringement."
One does indeed need an imagination to conjure up a scenario where a court would get involved. However, even though it is almost certainly a moot point, I cannot resist the urge to point out that a properly informed court considering the matter of copyright infringement would easily, instantly, absolutely, certainly, definitely, finally, unambiguously, and correctly conclude that copies possessed by one ex-spouse of CDs owned by the other ex-spouse are an infringement of the copyright holder's rights.
Ahhh, I feel better now. Rip 'em anyway. dB Poweramp is excellent, and I find it much easier to use than EAC (not as easy as iTunes, though)
