That would stop you buying the music regardless of how good the actual songs or musicianship is.

Not necessarily.
I could buy pirate copies of a band's CD and they won't make a profit off that.
I could probably stage a protest (if I wanted to waste my time) and perhaps get enough people to do the same.
I could go to napster and hope enough other people are doing the same adn they won't profit.
Or I could hope they do something stupid that'll get their music banned in certain places.
Like Shakira. There isn't a place in Argentina that sells her CDs unless it's a burned copy because of her relationship with the son of a former politician.
And I see your point about image.
But for me to like a song, image isn't the first thing I take into consideration because i can't hear that. Not unless I start to ask questions and read about them because of my like for their music which was already determined by the other four qualities.
