   Value vs. worth

   Since I can't actually sell any of that digital content, how exactly does it have any monetary value?

   Is it really stealing if you never intended to buy the music anyways? Believe it or not, some people would just listen to the radio or nothing at all than shell out money they can't afford.

   Perhaps not intrinsic worth or marketable value, but there could be a replacement cost if you've also lost your software license keys.

   Big Mess

   With many books coming with CDs containing a digital version, its not hard to see that things can become a bit messy. Copying books and music and movies, uploading digital pictures and scans, text scans and possibly personal recordings or content created on the computer. I have every one of the above. You add that to a mess of software and games (free or paid), music videos and probably television shows. I'm sure many more can be added to this list.
   
   What's not messy about organising all of that?

   Well if you paid for it or it had some cost attributed to it, then it has some value. I suppose people better check their insurance policies and see what is covered and not covered, for example, software, digital photos, digital music, etc. The soft costs could exceed the hard costs.

   This is exactly the reason that desktop search will become a huge moneymaker for Google!
