The record companies have been cramming crap down our throat for years. Inferior products , terrible acts, thuggish behavior. Karma is barreling down their street for the ways they have treated artists, radio stations and consumers. I buy as much of the Rolling Stones product as I can, but I got to say some of my Rolling Stones bootlegs of shows are some of the most cherished in my collection. Listening to shared files of obscure and mostly out of print tracks only enhances my desire to buy commercial releases.If I want the commercial release with all the bells and whistles then thats what I do. At times I just want the music, Record companies aren't giving the consumer that choice.
My final comment is that file-sharing is no worse than going to my neighbor and borrowing one of his albums to listen/record whatever... If that recording is compelling enough, then I'm getting the commercial release. If it's not, then money well saved IMHO
