If its an artist I like, I automatically go out and buy their album. No reason not to if I already own their previous albums and I trust them for putting out good music.
Artists I don't know, I download. If I like their stuff, then I buy the album. Because of this, I have bought in the past:
Blumchen
Lamya
Tatu
Frou-Frou
And many others.
Artists that I download, and don't terribly care too much for the music - I finish the album, burn it to cd and forget about it. If I wasn't going to buy it in the first place, its really not hurting the artist.
