9 out of 10 new bands get big from the illegal sharing of their small scale singles/demos etc, I for one would be buying way less music if the option of checking out a full album before buying was taken away. I would also be going to far fewer gigs, mainly the smaller up and coming bands gigs because I wouldnt know any of the songs like I would now from leaks etc before they put out their full albums. its too far, I agree something has to be done but this is not the answer, waking up to the ways of the moden music buyer is needed, full... maybe time limited free downloads of albums maybe. you get it for 7-14 days then it expires?
