maybe people don't care any more but hopefully they do.

It's a good one. And an old problem. But yeah, essentially there's a lot of people who are scabs. And anyone who complains about bands not coming to their town need to realise that there are very good reasons for that.

I remember a friend of mine complaining that Kayo Dot never play Scotland and my reply was, "well, were you one of the 300 people who paid for their last album?"

Well good thing I live in a major city then...

i definitely have no interest in getting into a fight but i'm just curious why you download free stuff.

do you think that it has not had an over all negative effect on musicians being able to maintain a career?
