possible. in the case of SdM i also downloaded mp3s because it is not 
available at iTunes France, only iTunes USA. but i will surely buy CD 
as it releases on 23rd Dec.

And for the few CDs that they print they keep increasing the prices which
decreases the number of people actually buying them. Its a vicious circle.

Students may not be able to afford Rs.160 per CD, so they turn to pirated
mp3s and the habit sets in.

I too agree with Gopal for that. I mean whenever I buy a Audion CD or DVD, my 
friends always discourage me from buying. But no one can stop me though. 

The same way I do not know how many are falling into the trap of MP3.

True. Recently I heard from some authentic source, that especially 
after the mp3 revolution, the music companies nowadays don't take a risk to 
print more than a few thousand copies (CDs/Cassettes etc). Prior to mp3 
technology the number of prints used to be near around lakhs per title.

I myself always download MP3s from web. When I can get the original CD I'll 
surely but it. I have no choice because in Malaysia (where I live), the release 
date is different. Especially Hindi songs and Albums (Tamil albums are easily 
available). Even now, I'm listening to Slumdog Millionaire which was downloaded 
from web. When it releases, I'll BUY it.

I bet many of us do this...
