All very well, until you have to make a mortgage repayment or repair the
car... !

Errr... is this not because people have bought their records in the
past?.. it we all started just downloading their stuff off the net then
they would soon be out of a job as their record labels disappeared...
And as for not hearing any Autechre before installing Napster is this
just not laziness on your part? I mean Ae and Aphex are not the hardest
of cds to come by, (I mean you could buy the last Aphex album in my
local Texaco garage!)... and there are realaudio snippets of their work
on the warp site...
I could go on, but I don't think its worth it...
