And I think you exemplify most torrent users position, which is they do some downloading, but they are also, if not primarily, paying customers. So they next step is; how are you going to handle passing on that knowledge to the next generation(s)? What are you going to tell them? Hi Saradevil

Do I torrent? I've been known to. But when I can I like to support the places that are doing good service and the artist. Sites like emusic where I've been subscribing for about four years becomes an excellent example. Unlike the other major pay to download relator, emusic doesn't DRM any of the files and it carries music that is frequently independent. Will you find Rhianna, there, no, but you might find something a hell of a lot more interesting. In the end though, I'm of this opinion. A torrent is a great way to discover something or replace something lost. However if you really like something, and you want the opportunity to enjoy it again, eventually you better buy something or those artists you love WILL go out of business and all you'll be left with are record companies hyping the new over produced backwater of Britney Spears.
