I'm sure most artists (who aren't so huge and have been playing for so long that they've actually broken away from the labels and aremaking money off their music now, and let's be honest, does anyone really care about stealing Metallica albums?) would be fine with downloading their album for free because they'd only be making, what, 15 cents otherwise? Their income comes from touring and merchandise, not record sales. Even indie artists don't make much money off of CD sales. For major label bands especially though, don't you dare buy their albums, you're only supporting the bullshit record companies.

But after spending countless amounts of money on cd's, vinyls, or digital music that I didn't end up liking or playing out, I too went the way of the download. Yes I will download a track/album and listen to it. Yes I'll take those songs and play them out in clubs etc and get a response from the crowd. And yes, if I do enjoy the tracks or album I will buy the hard copy or pay for the download on sites like BeatPort. The way I see it,by me playing these tracks at clubs I am increasing the amount of people that hear the songs and there fore in some way contributing to future sales etc. And thats what helps me sleep at night :p Ch3 I too used to be an avid buyer of music in all forms.
