How many of you make the effort to buy CDs to support artistes? I'm not trying to discriminate against those who 'would if they could', but I'm surrounded by people who opt for only copying CDs from friends, downloading etc (and they are very well off, they change their belongings frequently). I suppose it's their freedom to do that, but once I wanted to buy a CD that my friend already had and she was like "There's no point! I have it too, I'll lend it to you."

Also, what's wrong with buying albums that were released quite a while ago? On two occasions I bought an album that was released a year back and two different people asked me, "Why did you buy that? It's so old!" I'm thinking well, better to buy 'old' good music than fresh crap. But I still want to know why people think that way.
