If you like music, buy some because someday there won't be anyone to buy cds (expecting on gnutella or others) and there won't be any artist to create song and sell them to make money.
I agree with people saying buying cds is just too much because of the cost of them. Doing a international action to get the prices fall would be great, won't it ?

Sales of CDs have increased since people started using file-sharing applications.

A very small percentage of the revenue goes toward artists anyway.

Well, I don't know about anyone else on here, but I do still buy cd's, if they merit buying. Gnutella and other such services allow me to preview a cd before I buy it. I shouldn't have to buy a $15-$20 cd to find out it sucks. If the music industry had addressed this issue beforehand, and stopped overcharging, they wouldn't be in the prediciment they are now.
