To those of you that think that p2p causes everyone to reduce the amount they purchase on CDs I offer myself as a counter-example.
I rarely bought CDs prior to p2p.. I actually began buying many more at its height, just because I was exposed to more and found more CDs that were full of good songs.. I was of the mind that if I downloaded an entire CD or most of one, I went out and bought it..
simple as that... however, since this entire everyone is a thief bit, I have refused to buy any CDs from any artist under the RIAA. I will still purchase imports, but I do not like the way the RIAA is handling things.. Hell I would be tempted to go the way of itunes, but to tell you the truth, I have plenty of music CDs currently and I listen to the radio for stuff I do not have... I dont need p2p, but I sure as hell don't need to purchase music that the RIAA pushes.
The only album I have bought in the last 2-3 years has been an album put out by a friend of mine.. good album too, and I ended up buying 3.
