I would be a hypocrite if I said I have never done this, but I don't see the harm in trying before you buy. Some may come back and say check out the 30sec clips on itunes and such, but i have been had by a few of those clips. THey will play the intro or sllow section for a clip, and when I go out and buy the album the song ends up being some heavy metal thrashing shit instead of what I was looking for in the preview.
Not oo mention CD prices are on the rie again for no reason. Back in the early 90's they were at $18.99 a pop. Once the file-sharing (napster) revolution hit they dropped down to $9.99. Now the record industry is doing no better than it was a few years ago and cd prices are now up to $13.99.
I am caught at a crossroads. I want to support the artist, but dont want to pay an arm and a leg for a cd. Also dont want to give the record execs my money. In a "ideal" world I would prefer to buy the album and pay $$ off of the artists website. Fuckin record labels! Anyways. . . . .
