Describe the way you use file sharing


I've had this debate too many times, and wanted to get an opinion from others. I know this is a totally unobjective crowd on the subject, but where else can i ask the question? Anyway, here it goes:

With file sharing sites, the ones Like Kazaa and Limewire... etc, do you download songs to:

1) prevent yourself from having to buy the cd if the rip is a good quality rip
2) demo a cd before you buy, but definitly buy the cd; or look for new artists before you buy
3) sometimes buy the cd and sometimes don't.

If you fall into category #2, and you find a musician you really liked, would you then be encouraged to buy more of that musician's cds based on your downloads?

I do what Curbach does and agree with Jeffloistarca. Has anyone seen the class action lawsuit against the music industry accusing them of colllusion to set cd prices? I signed up for any settlements. I hope its not a scam. Anyway Ive bought a lot of cds for artists Ive downloaded, as well as taking stuff because its out of print. Its also handy for finding stuff you might hear in a TV commercial or store.
