To answer the question, my collection is a misture. Most of the songs I have downloaded are harder to find but I have not and will not download & burn an entire artisit's CD. I prefer to buy them from the store.
This topic was brought up on an e-mail list. I hear what you're saying that the artists are not exactly poor, but a Soror (who happens to work fro a record label) brought up a view that I hadn't thought about. Yes, we all know that the artists are going to be paid regardless, but what about the regular folks (like her) that work for the record company? Their salary is paid by record sales. If the label doesn't make money, salaries & jobs get cut to make up for the difference.
