There is a procedure for backing up your music and restoring it if your iPod fails, you just didn't follow it. You are careless and lazy and you want to blame someone else for it.
Where is the backup of your old hard drive?

Nope, that isn't good enough. Once you buy music you should retain the rights to owning a copy of that music for life. No matter the circumstances. Sure, he could have done better at taking care of his shit, but his investment in music should be secure in any case.
Especially since we're talking about digital copies. No one needs to send him any replacement CDs, it would only require a little additional bandwidth (for him to download them all again) for him to keep what he paid a fortune for.
My advice? Live and learn, just steal your music until they figure out how not to be cunts! ...
Start by stealing all that music back that you lost, then steal some extra music for putting you through all this.

That is just flat out rediculous. Why is music different than anything else. He did have perpetual rights to the music, but it's his responsibility to take care of it. Just like anything else.
If I buy a book, I am entitled to keep it forever, but if I am negligent with it, I am not entitled to a replacement.
In order to not be able to restore your music, you have to be stupid at least twice. He had his music on an "old laptop". As long as he kept that, he could have restored all his music.
As long as he didn't send his iPod through the wash, he had his music.
Having said all that, I'm no laywer, but my guess is that if he kept records of his purchases, he could not be prosecuted for downloading copies of songs he had purchased. I'd lay pretty big money that an idiot that gets rid of his hard drive and washes his iPod is wayyy to fucking stupid to maintain records like that.
Personal responsibility people. Every action that caused him to lose his music was 100% within his control, and 0% within Apples.

I was just thinking about how people blame someone else for their mistakes. Sad man, just sad.
