the scene is in a pretty critical time right now concerning mp3 downloads and changes in the industry, so i think it'd be interesting to see the percentage of TA's that support the artist by buying their tunes, or just downloading mp3 from the hub or somewhere else. PLEASE ANSWER SINCERELY TO THIS POLL.
personally i'm among the people who just download mp3 from the hub without buying the tunes, but looking forward to start buying some records once in a while in the near future. i know it isn't right at all, but having to import the records to get what i want and still not making my own money are the biggest causes for it. |

I download mp3's like a madman. I've started to buy some stuff though.
The arguement of buying to support the artist is bull. You buy a record, they get about .40 (American). Big deal. Half the time, not even that, if they have a pre-pay deal. You mostly just support the RIAA, or some other Trade Orginisation, and the record label.
Ah well. Such is life. |

| I download anything of interest (sometimes not even that), but delete ones I don't really care about due to limited hard drive space. I buy a good number of the ones that make the cut (Probably about 40%) but only if a) I have the money, and b) I find them at my local record store or affordably online (meaning Chemical Records or Ebay; everywhere else has prices and shipping that are too high, and American online records stores are basically crap). |

I download mp3's, but not like hundreds per week. Plus when I'm tired of a track or I don't even like it at all, the mp3 goes straight to the recycle bin.
I buy music very often. I think about 2-5 cd's per month. Not only trance, but everything I like. |

| I download a lot of mp3's, but those are mainly livesets. When i like a DJ and he made an album, then i buy it. The last cd i bought was Armin v Buuren's new cd, though i already had it on my pc for a while. |

I have to admit that i download a lot of mp3s, both singles and livesets.
I don't have any decks, but i do buy cds once in a while, if there's something i really like.. :) |

| I don't download mp3 very often, coz I've got a slow connection, and I've got decks so most of the tunes I like come out on vinyl. And there's just something I like about owning a 'real' copy of a tune, or a CD... |
