My attitude is that i wont download music i have paid for at some time in my life.

I also download mixes off radio 1 that i missed, although i dont keep em forever, if i like a tune ill go and search for it, but i need to hear a tune a few times to decide as i prefer music with longevity rather than stuff that wont last.

As for MP3 - either the way in which we pay for it changes or the industry dies. simple.

It works like this.

Everyone who isnt in the business and has the access will rip it, it doesnt even appear on their radar as a crime.
