You see, I use Napster and NapsterLinks sooo much. I used to buy the individual songs, but then realized it's cheaper for me to get a year subscription, since it's the only unlimited flat fee service out there. I love NapsterLinks in discussion boards like this cause its easy to link directly to the song you're talking about.
But in response to your question, at this point in the evolution of music downloading, there's not really much the consumer can do to change the way our money is distributed to the artist. I feel I'm giving back by paying for the subscription since I'm not illegally downloading anything for free. Rather, I am taking advantage of a legitimate service while feeding my own music desires.
