Yeah, exactly. The physical CDs would have to go with the gift for this to be on the up-and-up. This isn't hard to figure out at all: treat digital media files like they're physical objects and copyright makes sense.
If you give someone an iPod loaded up with tracks, you shouldn't keep a copy of those tracks on your computer - they belong on the iPod and they belond to that person now. Although doesn't Apple assume everyone is a thief and nuke iPods on first sync when creating a partnership? I tried to load up an iPod I gave my dad years ago with music from his own CD collection, and when he did the first sync it nuked all the music on it. That sucked.
