you're absolutely right, we would in fact give our money to ensure quality downloads. i think that is obvious by the number of people that pay for software these days. i paid $20 for a year of audiogalaxy and look where it got me!! but i would gladly do it again! i definitely got my $20 worth. but it will never surpass the immense cd collection that i've amassed since high school. i must have spent every paycheck on music. i've got thousands of dollars worth of cds that were bought legit. i went broke and ate peanut butter for a week to be able to get the new albums coming out while all the record industry got rich off of me and every other sheep music lover. our weakness is our love of music. they preyed on that and the naivety of music artists to become rich, talentless thieves.
