I buy cds and records but I can't afford to buy everything I want. I still buy as many as I did before I had access to the internet so, sorry, where's the harm? I'm not downloading INSTEAD of buying. If I didn't do it I wouldn't have it, and in many cases I wouldn't hear the artist and wouldn't subsequently buy their records. Most stuff I download is new to me and generally impossible to buy anyway, but frankly if I spent all day downloading Mariah Carey, The Killers and Nirvana illegally, so fucking what?
