as for mp3 downloading, for me, I download albums, if they're decent I buy them, I'm not a total cunt, I want to support the bands, I'll buy the cds, t-shirts etc, but I think downloading the albums beforehand is a nice way of finding out wether you like the band or not rather than listening to ashitty 10 second clip of just going into a record store and buying something you later dont' want.
