I always download songs to see if I like them, and if I do, I'll buy the CD. But quite honestly, Japanese artists make better songs IMO than American artists. For American music, I'll download it or buy it off iTunes, I almost never buy the actual CD, because I usually only like 1-2 tracks. But Japanese music, I almost always buy the CD, although they are insanely expensive. The tax seems like a silly idea, especially if the artists don't get anything from it. I could care less about the labels, I'd rather pay a tax and have it go to Ayu than Avex. I doubt the tax will come through, which means we won't be getting a lot of Japanese music on iTunes.
