Really?

I honestly dont know of many shops which will exchange CDs or DVDs 
for arbitrary period of time after purchase. Maybe shortly after 
purchase, if you found them defective when you opened them..

I'm not sure what that has to do with demanding record company/shop 
exchange the CD you (or your sticky fingered derived work^W^Wkid) 
went and broke.

Fair use allows you to make copies and use for various 'fair' 
purposes. It doesn't give you a unlimited warranty on the media.
