Totally with you on that one, love. The amount of music that I've illegally downloaded and then bought legitimately is pretty much double what I used to spend purely on legitimate music. Add to that the concert tickets, and the many people I've introduced to these bands, well...fuck the RIAA is about all I've got.

My music collection would be so much poorer without musics obtained after hearing mix CDs

I have no link, only that I heard once that there was research to see how much Napster (at the time) affected music sales. OF COURSE, Music sales went up because of Napster according to the survey.

Still, large corporations didn't have control over the radio and weren't able to force their most chosen fourty or fifty artists on listeners. Bands like Old 97s and Lesbians On Ectasy would never find airplay on commercial radio.

I remember commercial radio and it was AWFUL. Still is. I'm delighted, ecstatic and overjoyed that there are other options for music nowadays.
