John, I'm in complete agreeance with you. Downloading, sharing, whatever you want to call it, is often the only way for some of these young bands to "get there music out there". I am sure that I have bought 150+ cds over the past year from new, up and coming bands that I haven't heard on the radio. Only reason I considered purchasing is because I can download some music to try out.
