That doesn't mean that I don't download occasionally, though. If there's a band that I'm curious about, but I'm ready to shell out $10-20 just to find out if I like the album or not, I'll probably download it or get a friend to burn it for me first.
Being a musician, I understand the idea of wanting your music to be your livelihood. If nobody buys the CDs, then that idea is next to impossible.

As understandable as that is, I'd be glad that my music is well-known enough that there is a demand for it to be downloaded.
Legally or illegally.
Don't get me wrong though, I agree with what you have to say.
