Do you prefer downloading over buying? Why (bootlegs, albums, cover)

Yeah I still don't see why it's stupid. People also buy CDs for you know, the actual CDs, the cover art and so on.

Yah, but he explicitly said that he did it to support the band.

Yeah, because the RIAA takes all the money right? and print the cover art out? Are you serious?

This is for you progg, might cheer ya up. (good example of them being bastards)

The RIAA's policy and method of suing individuals for copyright infringement is continually criticized. Brad Templeton of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has called the RIAA's lawsuits "spamigation"[10] and implied they are done merely to intimidate people.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, American Civil Liberties Union and Public Citizen oppose the ability of the RIAA and other companies to "strip Internet users of anonymity without allowing them to challenge the order in court".[11][12]

The RIAA names defendants based on ISP identification of the subscriber associated with an IP address,[13] and as such do not know any additional information about a person before they sue. This has led to them issuing subpoenas to a dead grandmother,[14], an elderly computer novice,[15] a woman with multiple sclerosis,[16] and even those without any computer at all.[17] Sometimes the RIAA continues to sue even in these cases, or seeks to discontinue without prejudice (and thereby avoid compensating the defense for legal fees).[18][19][20]

After learning that one alleged copyright infringer has died, the RIAA offered the deceased man's family a period of sixty days to grieve the man's death before they began to depose members of his family for the suit against his estate.[21]

The RIAA also brings lawsuits against children, some as young as 12.[22]

About the cover art, no, but it's an option. But I am serious about not supporting major labels.

Yeah but some people actually want CDs and most labels are in related to the big four in some way, even the 'independent' ones so it's hard to avoid it.

My point stands.
