I didn't say that those who use Napster don't purchase CDs. Only that
there has only been a single study claiming that those who use Napster
purchase more CDs, and that study was badly flawed, so there is no real
proof that the statement is true. And let's all be honest -- many people
downloading Metallica songs *aren't* the hardcore fans who own all their
albums, t-shirts, etc. They are people who simply don't want to pay for
CDs.
I'm actually with you -- I have used Napster to sample stuff, but I hate
the sound quality and if I like it I go out and buy the CD. But I'm
realistic enough to know that people like you and I make up only a
fraction of those who use the service.
