Yea, I'm definitely with Chad here. I get quite sick of people sitting around and talking about how its "all about the music" for them and then jumping on anybody who has their MP3s.
If all you want to do is make your art for personal expression and hope that a few people like it, then MP3 is the format of choice. And I thought that this was what music is all about. If you're sitting around worrying about record sales you're not making music for the right reasons and you're probably not making very good music. Anybody who is worried about how many copies something is going to sell after they release it is most likely concerned about the same thing while making it and we all know what music that's made with the goal of being popular sounds like.
I personally love sharing my music with other people- I love when somebody downloads my MP3s and sends me an e-mail that they like it. But if nobody in the entire world liked my music I'd still be making it. I make my music for myself first and foremost.
Anyway, I just woke up and I'm kind of rambling, but I think this makes sense.
