I do know a LOT of people that say they havn't bought any CD's in the last year..

The two most recent I bought, not new releases, were the Simpsons music CDs because when I did get them off the Net, the quality sucked. And I know from past threads, that is a major complaint of most of us here, the quality is just not up to snuff for us...
I ripped the CDs to put on my computer & empeg. I guess by their logic I stole from the Simpsons, eh? Well they got $30 from me for the 2 CDs, and that was 2 weeks ago. So in effect, downloading them and realizing I wanted the tunes, (with higher quality rips) made me buy the CDs. They (RIAA) can kiss my a$$...
