I point I'd like to make:
In the past I have downloaded music from the Internet. If the music was good quality, or if there was a certain song I've heard before and wanted to listen to, I would then buy the album. If I've heard a band was good but had never heard any of their songs, I would download them. Needless to say, if I didn't like the song, I would delete it. If I liked it, I would buy the CD. I have bought four CDs from bands I have downloaded from the Internet: System of a Down's Toxicity, Tool's Lateralus, and Slipknot's self titled album and Slipknot's Iowa. I currently do not have any songs from the Internet on my computer. So, in this case, certain bands have profited from my downloading 'pirated' versions of their songs.

Therefore, audio piracy is not ALL bad.
