bands also make much more money of touring, so if you download the album, your more likely to go see them and pay money for a ticket, t shirts etc.

come on nme, who's going to admit they download illegally now? All you need is the cops to read it then you're screwed.I used to download illegally, I still know people who do. I think music is an art and should be there for as many people to listen to as possible. Illegal downloading doesn't necersarilly mean bands won't get paid a fortune for what they make. It does still feel nicer buying the actualy cd though.
