I'm sure you're correct, but stop and think about it for a second...you'd
have to be pretty clueless to walk up to someone and TELL them you
downloaded their record for free, right? It seems to me that a person who
can't think THAT far past their own nose probably
isn't going to beat a trail out to support what they like.
