I tend to download an album, and if I think it warrants a purchase and is good enough. I mean, a world where musicians just get rewarded for being good, and not because of their record label or anything, is some world surely. Bands are starting to fend for themselves much more these days, as people won't be buying their albums because they can see how much they enjoy/hate the album prior to that.Also, it means that so much more people can hear the music. There are so many bands I have been introduced to thanks to downloading, and then decided to buy the album. Downloading has the reverse effect some people think it has. More people hear the music, more fans are made, more gig tickets are sold etc etc. Downloading promotes artists so much more, They no longer have to rely on the small chance a record manager might hear them. Small bands now have it much easier, and the music industry is growing.
