exactly....if you want to support the artists one goes to the shows and pays for the tickets..

record sales just stuff the pockets of the record companies.

what I find most amusing about this is it seems that copying music has just been invented....ever heard of audio cassetes?....back in the day we all went to our friends houses and made copies of their albuns to tape....but once it becomes digital data flowing over the internet the indistry goes ape-****.....go figure..
