To be honest, all these replies sound like the bleating excuses of pirates.
Nothing has changed since most of you "used to buy CDs in the 90's"...
Come on!
If you pirate music, because you're too cheap to buy it or are worried that you might only like one track, then don't come up with some lame excuse.
Like I said in my original post. I don't pirate. Same way as I don't steal from shops. It's illegal and it's wrong.
However, I'm intelligent enough to realise that the actions of the industry in price fixing just exacerbates this problem.
And, pirated CDs (not file-swapping) are the major reason sales have decreased. Just because it's not as rampant in the US as it is overseas doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or has little affect.
There's more to the world (and therefore, obviously, the global market) than North America.
