There you go. And that's my point. I will still buy the CD if I really respect the artist. This is how I show my support of a band. Even if I had Mp3s before. If an artist is really good enough he'll MAKE you go out and buy his stuff, with his artistry, eventhough you already have it downloaded. And the mp3s you dloaded and didn't like as much... you wouldn't buy them in any case. Eventhough you had no mp3s of that artist at all. As far as I'm concerned things haven't really changed. People will buy what they like. It's always been like that. And the proof that people are still buying what appleals to them are all the mulitplatinum album sales out there. It means that an Mp3 file can't yet replace the feeling of owning a CD version of an album by your favourite artist.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
