if the music industry wasnt corrupt and all about money then CDs would cost alot less be affordable and far more people would buy them, and filesharing would hardly be a problem, unfortunately the music industry only has itself to blame for all the problems, releasing an album to get the best publicity results in an album with 2 good singles and 10 crap songs these days, it used to be an album had almost all quality songs, now they just make fillers to be able to sell it quick whilst the publicity machine is rolling, the whole system these days is just revolving around quick artists who will appear make 2 hit singles, sell an album then disappear again netting quick profits, and only the bigger record labels win out, the small ones go under because they cant afford to get it wrong.
i no longer buy music at all, i download a few songs on kazaa, only the ones i really like, and thats normally older songs, not much released these days interests me. I download with no guilt because i would buy the albums anyway its only one song from each band normally, and its impossible to find the singles for them as they are too old, so noones losing any money from me. Only time id ever buy an album now is if id listened to it already and almost every song was good, even if i had already downloaded it, then i would actually buy a copy, but for that to happen it would have to be good.
