I also only use legal methods to obtain my music. Bittorrent is my favourite. Sadly, in order to take advantage of fair use exceptions I have to violate my ISP's terms of service, but so long as I don't go overboard it's a smile and wink sort of thing.
Somebody has to be the black sheep here. I have absolutely no compunctions with downloaded music that I haven't paid for. If I had a legitimate and non-restrictive method to obtain music that would ensure the artists got their fair share I'd use that instead, but as that doesn't yet exist I settle for what is currently out there.
Online distribution is a medium and media demand to be used. The Big Four don't seem to grasp that concept, but I have faith that they'll get it eventually. Large corporations tend to be very survival-oriented.
