if it were not for the internet and MP3s I would never have discovered Porcupine Tree or Hooverphonic. For this I am greatful. I now own serveral of their albums.
I think the reason RIAA is afraid of music swapping is because they know 95% of the albums they sell are utter crap (minus maybe 1 or 2 songs) and people want just the good songs and won't pay $15 for 1 or 2 songs. Also, it gives independent labels more exposure thereby detracting from the big Record Companies.

bastards...
