Yes, but some will argue that D-A and A-D conversion degrades the sound.
Digital copying though S/PDIF allows unlimited generations of copying
(as if it mattered... but that is the reason why the industry is all
upset about digital music and copying)
I seriously doubt that there is anyone around who
can tell the difference between a digitally ripped copy and a digitally
encoded analog copy. A digitally encoded analog copy is way better than
any mp3/ogg file you're going to find anyway.
In the practical world, I agree totally.

paid the record company for a licence to listen...
