When will the industry realise that downloading has promoted more artists than it has hurt. Especially as live tours bring in greater profits and people are more likely to go to a live gig if they've bought/downloaded that music. £1.2million for 24 songs? It doesn't even cost that to record 24 songs the greedy bastards. Can't wait for this recession to get the major labels, then we'll have some good music!
