I'm gonna be honest here , I dl a lot more than I buy. especially western music that's so easily available online. I'm not trying to deny anything , I realize it's wrong & stealing and whatnot. I have limited funds being a uni student and all , and if the choice is either getting a new cd or going out / partying or buying something like new clothes i can't help but to skip on buying the CD.
also using an actual physical CD is just a hassle. I've ripped all my fave albums I own and just listen to the mp3's. mp3-cd with a hundred of your fave songs saves you the trouble of swticihng cd's in your car. and a portable mp3-player doesn't skip when you jog and it fits conviniently to you pocket. and again it can hold all the songs you want
