[quote=Cicero]I think free music downloading (or 'sharing') is fine as long as people actually go out and buy the CDs if they find a band they particularly like. I've downloaded thousands of songs in my time, but I've also bought hundreds of CDs.[\QUOTE]
Absolutely.
I own over 300 CDs, and buy them primarily, but I have no problem.
Additionally, I try to buy merch at shows I go to.
Most bands make under 50 cents for each album they sell, but they make a lot more money from t-shirts, etc.
So, downloading music is fine, providing you go see bands live and buy shit from them.
