Question
A person gave his friend a USB drive to copy songs for him, and it was lost. Is the friend obligated to pay?
Answer
Generally, this is considered a paid deposit, and he is exempt from liability for loss. However, sometimes the loss is due to negligence, and then he is obligated to pay. Each case should be judged individually.
