I think this will hurt the music industry as a whole. I am like you AciDriveHB I download songs but if I like more than one or two I will go out and buy the cd. Mp3's are a great way to let your band be heard cost effectively around the globe. My friends bad has landed gigs in surrounding states simply b/c he realeased some mp3's online, it also help's with the fan base too. On the other hand, it also helps in a way, I am a musician myself and I can see where bands are coming from. I wouldn't want my artwork ripped off as much as the next guy. If you really want to support a band go out and buy their cd, don't just rip it off.
