I just listened to that podcast. Very interesting and you described it perfectly.

Moby really comes off as a bad person to me, he basically said the CDs were in a storage facility, which is probably a lie, but never offered to retrieve them for Gregor or anything.

A better person would have either offered some way of returning them, or some kind of other compensation. I could understand if Moby is somewhat attached to the CDs that were directly responsible for making him rich and famous, but he's a millionaire, how about just buying Gregor another set of CDs, just as a nice gesture and because it's the right thing to do? Instead he spouts off some garbage about how that music was part of the funeral service for somebody's mother and it was a touching ceremony, as if that's meant to somehow make it ok that he borrowed somebody's 7-CD set and never returned it.

Basically he just said he still had them, but didn't want to give them back.
