There are small companies run by people who actually like music. Some of them are not even members of the RIAA.

Every year their sales increase, and they sign up more artists.

So, therefore, eventually.....

If it wasn’t such a pain in the butt to buy digitally. Once you download it, some MP3 players won’t play because of licensing issues and digital rights issues. If you download with Limewire, you can put the music on anything and take it anywhere without having to renew your license or take a chance on paying for a faulty license. I tried doing it the ethical way (paying .99 per download), but it bit me in the butt too many times. Besides, via P2P, you can get underground stuff and unreleased stuff that you can’t otherwise buy.

Ping. Is the recording industry a “dinosaur medium”?
