don't advocate piracy, but i can see how it could help smaller artists, like having their album on piracy sites turns into a semi-popular trend, and now more people know of the band's existence, are more prone to go see them live and eventually buy their cd and are spending more money on them than they would if their cd was just sitting in a store not getting paid much attention to.
i've spent a couple hundred $ on vinyl in the past month. i still pledge my full allegiance to monetarily supporting labels any way i can, and i'm pretty poor.
