It is not really comparable to newspapers. The analogy would be to an advertising circular. The CDs are what make the singer popular, thus making him valuable for gigs, chasunahs aor concerts, where the money is.
No, I believe you’re wrong.
An advertising circular is given out for free. A CD (like a newspaper) has an intrinsic sale value — and if you swiped either from the store, we would all agree it’s theft.
If it were a sampler CD given out for free, then it would be more comparable to an advertising circular.
