1) Buys music CD.
2) Rips CD to own computer. Shares with own devices [via personal cloud] for continued listening.
3) Destroys original CD.
4) Continues to listen to music which has been paid for; not sharing files with anybody else.

I have yet to meet a yo e who destroys their originals. Do you? Most people sell or gift them to someone else, which is not only outside of the letter of current copyright laws, but the spirit of those laws as well.
It would be easier to download pirated copies off the internet and exactly as legal.
Mine are all in a box shoved against the wall under my bed, where they don't get it the way but I can prove that I still deserve consideration under the First Sale doctrine.
