That's why I'm curious about the resulting cd purchases. What the RIAA doesn't understand is that a tremendous amount of cd sales are the direct result of mp3 downloads and cd trades. I'd say nearly 50%+ of the cd's I've purchased in the past 2-3 years are due to the fact that I heard a cool mp3, or someone burned a few cool tracks for me. The reason they're losing money is because they're promoting CRAP music.
