For me personally, I must agree with Anig. There are sooooo many artists
I would have NEVER purchased at all had it not been for mp3s. DMX Krew,
Plaid, Funkstorung, Cylob, Cex, Herbert, as well as countless 12s...
honestly I could list them all day.
But still it does come down to the person. If I like it I show my
support for that artist and buy it (unless they cancel their US tour).
Some people however don't care. I feel that any so called lost revenue
due to mp3 piracy is made up for by the free exposure and bigger fan
base artists gain.
The fact is... I would not be so into IDM had it not been for mp3s, not
even close.
Cheers,
Moe Rocca

I have to agree. I prefer to buy CDs also, but I don't have a ton of
money
so I tend to go for stuff that I've been introduced to by someone else,
or
had recommended to me, or can listen to in the store - there is some IDM
that I find deeply boring or annoying and I don't want to waste my
measly
supply of cash. I find mp3s great for checking out some artist that I'm
curious about but haven't heard yet - my tiny contribution to Aphex
Twin's
sales figures is entirely due to mp3. That's also how I first heard
Boards
of Canada, Venetian Snares, and a few other artists whose stuff I now
have
on CD.
