Unless they only have that partial album crap. Then I will go to the store and get the CD. I'm under the impression that if you turn file sharing off u cannot be sued. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure its the truth. But if everyone started doing this..there would be no more p2p file sharing.I'm sure the industries are going to become stricter on file sharing. Especially with the internet getting faster. Some colleges already have the new "fast" internet. Suppose to take the same amount of time to download a whole dvd as it does to get a mp3 now.Digital downloads have become the new trend and labels/distributers need to find a user friendly solution to combat people from not paying for the music they listen to. Most likely we will get to the point whereas almost anyone will be able make their music available for download and it will be a over saturated market (which it is kinda becoming). The only divider is labels have the money to put towards promotion. The music industry and music in general really sucks these days and I think p2p file sharing is partially responsible for it. It put labels in a panic and now all they look for is fast food media that may or may not sell. There are no more developing artists. It's all about marketing a product and getting a brand name....I could go on about this topic for a while.....I'm reminded of what an A&R told me just yesterday. He said he was getting jaded. He sits at work all day being inundated with demos which he has no time to listen to and projects that he can bring to the label president don't excite him at all. He equated it to the last presidental election saying it's like choosing the lesser of two evils. Which one to choose when you really don't like either but you have to make a choice.</blockquote>
