Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is something that I have thought a lot
about too. And one of the things I have determined is that I can't come up with
a ethic for everyone, or tell someone else what they should do. For myself, I'm
okay with burning copies of cds to see if I like it, and if I listen to it a
lot, I should really support the artist by purchasing it. Especially with the
types of artists that I typically listen to, like Over the Rhine and Pedro the
Lion, for example who aren't making millions. And I'll DL a few songs, maybe
even burn a mix cd. And I like to have the liner notes and stuff anyway. It's
a tough issue.
