I'll download a couple of random songs just to make sure it's still the same great band I like making the same music. If it is, I'll say screw the rest of it and just buy the album. I usually, however, download stuff from bands I've never heard of with the hopes I'll like it. I'll download a few random songs and if I like what I hear then I'll probably go for the whole album. If I listen to the album and decide it's something I really want, I'm going to buy it. So, if anything, the RIAA (and likewise these bands and labels) are actually making money from me due to P2P apps since I'm listening to and buying stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise. Now I know that's not the case with a lot of people...but that's why it pisses me off so much when they try and sue someone like me. I think the RIAA is just pissed because people aren't buying albums for one song anymore only to realize they suck.

On a side note, why isn't there anyone out there nabbing you for downloading porn? I mean really...this shows what a bunch of whiney little pussies the MPAA and RIAA are. Think of the amount of music and non-porn movies downloaded and compare it to porn downloaded. I bet that's like a 1:1000 ratio. And it's not like the bigger porn studios don't have the money to go after you. They're loosing money hand over fist (insert masturbation joke here), yet they're still not whining like a bunch of nancy boys because people share their stuff.

ahh, as long as your supporting the bands still. it just really pisses me off when people bitch that they have to pay for music from bands that they really like. it almost makes you not a fan
