and just cause i hate this company so much.. this is the list of labels owned by sony BMG. just so you know.... buying from Rough Trade for example is not supporting an independant label but this company which ownes 26% of all world sales.

My god, it's like Phillip-Morris. That's frightening. Awesome research, man.

I download music excessively, cuff me up and take me to jail.

Of course the problem with this is that 1) it's a bit silly, and 2) so many people do it that it'd create an impossible influx of prison manufacturing. (which would likely bankrupt everyone). So eh.

i go to as many shows as humanly possible - i feel that's the best way to get money into the pockets of the bands I like...

This works. Of course not everyone can make it to those shows.

123. It's not my fault that someone made it so that I can download albums off the internet without having to pay for them.

^no its not.
the convienience is there, why not use it while you can..
its not that damaging to the industry.
theres plenty of merchandise & shows & shizz out there.
& people always have band loyalty; if you like a band enough then youre gonna support them.
meh, the whole downloading "problem" is so spun out of proportion.

Yes... But there are also plenty of people who don't even know the names of the bands whose music they're listening to.

i download the music and give the band credit for making it. I dont think the band has a problem with it, they get paid more in concert money anyway, their getting more people to listen to their music so that means more fans.

I use Napsterlinks a lot too. They've got a great selection and you can actually listen to entire songs.
