   The first reason to buy CD's is to help pay the artist, they get no   
   money from the "free" downloads I bet.   
   I like the pretty packaging as opposed to the ugly crap most computers do.   
   If my computer crashes...my digi songs are gone.   
   What the industry should do is allow those who are too lazy/cheap to go   
   out and buy CD's to download them for a dollar a song. Those of us who   
   want the whole CD, buy it.
