I download tons of music. I know alot of people in various online communities, and I usually get albums the moment they leak. The only artists I will support 100% by buying their merchandise is M.I.A. and Buckethead, mainly because they are more obscure artists and need financial support from fans, although I do usually buy U2 albums, and will buy Guns n Roses Chinese Democracy if/when it gets released.
I am at the point where I despise Cd prices. The industry has been ripping off customers for years, and I just dont have any interest in financing their empire. Cds should be 5 bucks. No more, no less. They would make money, not rip off fans, and cd sales would go up.
There's not much incentive to pay 15 bucks for a cd when you can download it for free.
