that's complete trash! Artists have to put food on the table no matter what the medium. Besides albums aren't that expensice anyway just shope around you can buy them dirt cheap on sites like amazon. Just get a grip for goodness sake.

I totally agreeth "Joe Bananas" here I think you've all or at least the majority of you you have missed the point in some way or another and are indeed being rather "naieve". In some ways this is all rather selfish just because you don't want to line the pockets of major bands and record companies, if we carry on with that attitude then we'll end up with a string of very poor local and pub singer style bands and God know's surely anyone with any sense has had enough of that. Plus this whole attitude is selfish really as you'd soon be complaining if after a hard day at work you found out that you weren't going to to get paid just because you're survices could be obtained elsewhere for nothing, where does it end really, why not steal from the shops as well just so you don't have to pay for it. I'm sick to death of the word "revolution" being used as well, what are we revolting against? I concede that yes I've personally borrowed the occasional CD of a mate or illegally dowenloaded the odd single track here and there but to go as far as a whole album is bloody rediculas. A true fan would send his/her money in order to be part of something unless music is no longer art and simply entertainment to us.
