So I feel good buying their recordings, even better if it's directly at a gig or through their Websites. That said, the music industry has been shooting itself in the foot for years. Big hits only, little artist development, little "catalog building." And much of the demand of the late '80 and 90's was just replacement purchases, as folks bought their old LP stuff on CD's. So now they freak out that music sales are declining rapidly and attribute this all to piracy - but more is attributable to listeners having by now rebought all the Floyd and Dylan and Stones recordings on CD. And the "cassingle" never successfully replaced the good old 45 for young kids, and they can't afford to spring for a $16 CD. And on and on and on. IIRC, I think the EFF did a survey and found that folks who downloaded lots of music purchased more CD's than the average bear. Go figure.
