They probably put millions of dollars into these stupid lawsuits and did it all for nothing.

I hope your not serious.
You honestly believe that the artist who created that new track/album/mix comp that you recently downloaded doesn't deserve a penny?!?!? I could understand if someone wants to preview (via MP3, Real Player etc.) what they may be investing in but, if you dig it go out and purchase it.

When it comes to trance music, most people dont really have much of a choice but to download the songs... most of the songs dont come out on CDs. As for me, being that Im a DJ, I do download songs, but I use them as a scouting tool and if I like the single I do buy in on record, Im sure as do other DJs.

Are you trying to start some sort of argument?
It's not like this topic hasn't been BEATEN INTO THE GROUND
Yeah I am with VLad and everyone else. If a album has one good song then why buy it and its not easy to find some trance albums. One example Ferry Corsten released a album in Japan this year, it cost 40 dollars cuase its an import and shipping cost
$22 now add this up 62 dollars ,no way I love Ferry but thats to much and thanks to Kazaa I have it now.
Peace Out and Holler back

Not trying to start an arguement, just feel that when an artist pours their soul into something he/she deserves to see some support from his/her fans.

You'r right but, since when do you have to be a DJ to own a turntable.
Moral of the story is that these guys/gals that produce/provide the music that we all love will not be able to do so on the consistent basis they are now or not at all due to financial reasons.
