And yet I'm the idiot amongst my peers because I actually buy albums. God forbid I do something as stupid as support my artists.


I can rationalize a hundred reasons to steal when everyone else does it.


If you want to support artists isn't there an argument for torrenting the music and sending them all the money.


Would you work freelance on spec and only take money from clients if they were unconditionally happy and at any price they wanted? That is the argument you are asking artists to accept.
