I can't honestly believe that P2P has no effect on CD sales. I used to buy a shitload of albums. I haven't bought an actual CD is so long I can't even remember, and I know a ton of people like me. So can someone please explain how this doesn't effect CD sales? Because it does, and we'd all be fools to think anything else. Now, just because I see the reality of it that doesn't mean I feel bad about what I do or that I'm gonna rush out and start to buy CD's again. For the most part albums just suck ass and aren't worth $14 - $16. When CD's cost $5 I might start to buy music, but that's not gonna happen so I'll just continue to download what I want. CD's are so overpriced it's not even funny. I've supported the groups I listen to by going to a bunch of concerts and buying merchandise. The artist actually gets most of that money, not a stupidass record company.
