no john you make a great point. i pay for all my music unless it is an mp3
only release.
im an artist. it is the right thing to do. mp3's arent hurting metallica,
they hurt the indie labels and artists. nothing wrong with mp3's themselves
it is how they are used (or misused) if you support indie music, you buy
the release.
i was at a radio station once where the dj's (rather than buy and support
the cool music they loved so much) would hook up a laptop to the internet
and stream mp3's over the airwaves.........something just not right about
that in my world
im sure i'll catch flack for my comments, but that is my two cents as both
a consumer and an artist.
