I for myself downloaded many tracks from the internet (peer-to-peer). I was very happy to be enabled to listen to tracks which I could not find in any record-store.... ...for example I've got around fifty tracks from Norman Cook. But most of them are of a miserable bitrate or taken out of a mix, what means that they are not complete. Anyway I made a CD out of them and listened to it for about ten times. Then I knew what tracks were really important for me to get them and so I did almost everything to find a copy on vinyl, anywhere on this beautiful globe. The CD now is standing in my bookshelf and I didn't touch it for months. And always when I newly tried to listen to it, I turned off my stereo after some minutes, because there's such a big difference between an original track on a CD I've bought and copy of it on a self-burned one. When I buy a CD, then I have a beautiful cover, a booklet with complete information about the producer and the music and I know, that with the money I've spent, I supported the musician for he'll be able to produce more likeable music like the one Ive already got from him. I mean, Im expecting to become father in the future. What do you think: would I rather like to show to my children my collection of self-burned CDs or the one of bought originals? I am really happy for my father collected tons of LPs during his life from bands and peoples like: The Beatles, Roger Chapman, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Fleetwood Mac, David Lee Roth & Van Halen, Styx, Deep Purple, and so on while most of them are really rarities and I am going to inherit them all some day. ;-)
I for myself will always choose to buy the stuff I like and its very helpful to download the desired tracks by peer-to-peer to find out whats really worth buying it.
