My opinion. Good and Bad
Bad for obvious reasons
Good for finding new music and learning, try before you buy and all that.
I admit that I use p2p networks to download music Ive heard about or recomended by friends, or whilst browsing
www.discogs.com and having found something interesting.
But of course I do buy whatever I want afterwards, for me its just a massive source of audio demo clips
I dont like the sound of mp3's either, so anything i like will be bought on CD
