Funny how we're supposed to feel bad about these millionaire artists... Not that I condone unlimited downloading, a lot of music would not be made if nobody bought albums. But I do think that a lot of downloads are of music that people otherwise never would have bought, so no loss of revenue for anyone...

And I know a shit load of people who've downloaded music and then gone on to buy the groups/singers back catalogue.

Sure wasn't recording songs to tape from the radio going to kill the music industry back in the day...and taping tv shows or films onto VHS was the death knell for those industries too. They all seem to be doing just fine.
