point being that you gave money into the system to keep it going.
especially in independent music this is very important. if you
want to say "dont buy from big labels, steal from them" im not
going to argue. however i cant see what gain can be had from
stealing from indie labels at all. i love the idea of music being
free. i DL mp3s but i always buy what i love when its available.
