I don't download full albums, but I also can't fork out $20 a CD when the artist wants me to.

The whole file-sharing on the Internet thing is just a revolt against the over-priced CD's in stores. When Compact Discs were first introduced, they promised the public that these discs would be cheaper than the tapes and vinyl. Now that isn't so and people have grown tired of paying and arm and a leg for music to listen to.
