I completely and utterly agree with you Dark. It reminds me of the Disturbed (a band) situation. I heard an album of theirs from my taxi driver, loved it, downloaded the rest, then bought loads of them a while later.

I was sent a couple via download from a friend, liked them and wanted more, and I now buy them myself. The sooner people realize the potential for digital distribution, the better. Beware the grue!
