One should , if I read it properly, be very way of downloading the MP3 version before receiving (and possibly playing) the actual CD, especially if, as sometimes happens, the MP3 standalone price is high, or higher than the CD.
Buyer beware, in fact, and especially perhaps on big box sets.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

As it says in that link: "After your order has been completed, the music from the comparable album will be added to your Cloud Player library in MP3 format."
None of the CDs is marked as a "gift" - they are all coming to me. So this term does not apply: "Albums purchased in orders including one or more items marked as "gifts" at purchase are not eligible for AutoRip."
As I say, what I choose to do with the CDs I have bought and of which I have received delivery is up to me
Indeed, as such, I seem to be plumb within the terms of use:
3. Use of the Service.
3.1 Rights Granted. We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Matched Music only for your personal, non-commercial, entertainment use, subject to the Agreement.

3.2 Playing and Managing Your Music with the Service. You may use the Service only for personal, non-commercial use. You may not use the Service to store, transfer or distribute content of or on behalf of third parties,

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Best of luck is you do not retain any of the 6 CD/DVD pairings purchased by you.
Just have to see you.... er... them, in Court!

Buyer beware, in fact, and especially perhaps on big box sets.
"If you cancel your order or return this album, our normal order cancellation and product return policies will apply regarding the physical version of this album. However, if you download any of the tracks on the MP3 version of the album from your Cloud Player library (including if you have enabled auto-download to a device and any of the tracks on the MP3 version of the album auto-download), you will be considered to have purchased the MP3 version of the album from the Amazon MP3 Store (sold by Amazon Media EU Sarl) and we will charge your credit card (or other payment method) for the price of the MP3 version of the album at the time your cancellation or return is processed."
It does happen that I purchase a CD 'on spec' and return it as I don't like it. Haven't done so since the 'FreeMP3Rip' scheme started - but you're right: worth not downloading the MP3s until one's sure one wants the CD.
I've never come across an MP3 that costs more than the CD format - but that's not the point... If I don't want a recording, I don't want it for any money..."...the isle is full of noises,

Check the Glenn Gould CD, just as an example."...the isle is full of noises,

Not that I expect you, or another in such circumstances, would be detected, let alone taken to law without first being given the opportunity to remove the errant mp3s from their devices.
Giving away the CD is not copying it . I agree entirely with my learned friend.
