yeah, that’s why i only buy albums after i download, listen to, and enjoy the majority of the album. unless it’s one of my favorite artists, then i’ll shell out the $15. i can’t stand filler.

Why do they go after kazaa if there are sites like [these](http://www.altavista.com/audio/default) where you can just download the song on the internet from peoples web sites and if they ban that well it looks like you webmasters out there are going down in $$$. And did they ever go after people on limewire?
