If the CD is special, I surely buy it because the quality is typically a little better and it does mean more to me (art, pics, etc).
Anyway, most of the ones I get are live mixes which is strictly from the radio broadcasts so I don't think that's a problem.
But realistically, am I going to pay $40 for an import CD to have it shipped to me? Sorry, I'm not that rich and I'm a fanatic for new tunes. I've seen Armin like 4 times which equates to somewhere of $130+. That's supporting him. Plus, I gave those clubs a lot of booze $$.
If I didn't download from some people, then I would have never liked them and then wanted to see them when they visited. I would think, who the hell is this Markus Schulz guy? |
Definetly Agreed, and when you pay for the performances it just them spinning records, sometimes you could do better at home with winamp and mp3's. Dont get me wrong, sometimes the experience is awesome as well. In one way or another we all end up supporting the artist.
