ehm, less use of caps = more trustworthy :P
anyways, what does buying every single CD help anyone? only thing (except Shanty's Electronica Exposed at the moment) on CD's nowadays are bloody compilations... If I wantedto support the artist I enjoy listening to, I rather, just like Bobby Ritalin, pay them directly. if anything, wouldn't that the artist feel appreciated?

I agree with DJ Samination. I'd prefer to pay the artist direct. I'd feel good about supporting them and they'd feel good that I went direct to them for the sounds.
The thing about p2p users is, at least in my case, I never knew where else I could find the good tracks. I'd bought a few CD's from my local store and they turned out to be crap. It was then I decided not to buy stuff thats not good, and just get music for free thats only "possibly" junk. If it is, I don't waste money, if not, then I scored a free song that kicks ass. I started getting into it so I decided to make a transition where I'd search artists and when I found that their music is good, I'd go out to buy their CD's for the main purpose of support. Now, I never use the p2p programs and purchase all of my music. Legally.
The problems remain tho. I'm sure some people followed the same path as me but odds are, majority of them would rather get everything for free than go out and spend their money. I mean who wouldn't? But its the people that have the right mindset and feel good about the fact that they're supporting that are okay with spending money to get what they want even tho they very well kno that they could easily get it for free.
There aren't enough people like this around and its a shame.
A plus side to the fact that people use p2p networking is that names get out there and artists are discovered. Also the fact that users like to create viruses and spread them using p2p programs. So hopefully when a users computer crashes because of said viruses, the users will learn their lesson and stop the downloading, and go out to buy the tracks of their "newfound artist's" themselves. Thats what I did. I'm just lucky I had the music buying epiphany before something deadly happened to my CPU.

That would only work if the users are completely off when it comes to Computers and Internet.... wait SLSK users are utterly useless since they dont understand how to get DCpp working ^^

It was a false alarm. There I was primed, readied to unleash the fury but I got stage fright!
I will keep you updated on my toilet escapades.
