I've bought a lot of music especially starting when CDs were first introduced. The P2P piracy (and hey, that's what a lot of it is) gets a lot of attention in the press while the Music Industry's price fixing conviction does not. A lot of music was sold to consumers at price fixing prices and the the industry so abused consumers they ended up with a revolution on their hands in the form of MP3 sharing. They got what they deserved - every bit of it. Are the artists the losers? Yes, in a sense, although the Music Industry's hand picked artists still make a lot of money so I'm not crying for them. I've not bought an RIAA CD in years, but I have bougt a dozen CDs from independent artists on MP3.com and artists I've found via RadioOpium.com. My last purchase was a rather expensive tech compilation from Europe that was quite good - The Fahrenheit Project.
