Re: downloads. I happily pay for them. If I'm unsure about an artist I will check them out via the library. If they happen to be one of my beloved Blues heroes who is dead or has no estate (I do invesigate, beleive me) I won't buy if the money going to scanadalous rip off merchants like Page/Plant, for example. I'll burn instead. Otherwise, I support the artists I listen to by buying the product. If someone is kind enough to copy for me as an intro. like we did with tapes in the old days (after all, that's what burning is IMO) I go and buy the product. I don't care if they're established like Dylan etc. I'm happy to buy if it's quality. If it's rubbish, I don't.
