It&#x27;s not as simple as that otherwise they&#x27;d just record their own CD, write their own game etc. This is more like hoarding; either related to grief (can&#x27;t let go of a loved one but can keep hold of random shit) or just good old consumerist &quot;you&#x27;ll be a great person if you buy this&quot;.  It&#x27;s pathetic but hey, we&#x27;re in a late capitalist, consumer driven society where owning a small piece of plastic is more important than saving tens or hundreds of lives.
