i have about 80 albums, but when you download stuff illegally, ie. from kazaa, it feels like your'e sticking two fingers uo to the music industry :)	Bulldog

Haha. But it's good to support the artists you love?	loser_freak
yeah, i s'pose so... but artists only get 15% of each album sold, so it won't hardly make a differenece anyway..	Bulldog
