Definately a lot more in my case. P2P programs are the main reason for my involvement in EDM, since they provide me with samples of albums and artists I'm curious of. If I like what I hear, I'll track down material from them and buy it.

definitely less.

the lack of availability of the music i like, plays a big part in that..

I havent bought a CD since i got broadband. Also in Chicago Electronica music isnt as available as it is in Europe so I mostly use Kazaa & download the stuff for free. Also I mainly download live sets from my favorite DJ's & you cant find that shit anywhere in the States.

quit the lame excuses, if you really wanted to buy cd's then you would via ebay or amazon.com. You are just a shameless NON CD BUYER and people like you kill the scene

since napster....i've bought more cd's than ever.

I didn't buy albums at all until I found P2P. Allowed me to experiment and find what I like, discover stuff I never would have heard of otherwise. There was no way I was going to pay 20 bucks for an album that I've never heard or heard anything about, so I download a few songs, I like it, then I go buy it.

I don't buy music very much, but thats due to money constraints. Highschool students have no money.

i pay less, because as a student, you don't have that much money to buy a lot of records.

A lot more.

File sharing + turntables = insatiable thirst for vinyl and empty wallet

There's no way I would have bought all the records I have without having heard them first. Take that, record companies.

used to just listen to radio, and found EDM thru P2P. I don't buy a whole lot, but I do buy the ones I really like or if I see something for really cheap.

I voted "a lot more".
All this crap going around saying how we're stealing music. If it wasn't for mp3 downloads, i wouldn't have half the cd's i have now. Now with the internet people are exposed to what's out there. People dont want to spend $30 dollars, especially trance, because it's more expensive, on a CD that they dont know if it's good or not. They can listen to the tunes on their computer, and then decide, if it's worth buying, and a lot of the time it's not only the fact that you want the cd, it's to support the artist as well. So in conclusion, you take away internet mp3 downloads, and i'll garantee you that sales will descrease dramatically.
