Vicious circle to be honest.
Personally i dont download any music, if i want it, I buy it as Ive seen the impact on the music industry of pirated material. The difference now to when you used to "tape off the radio", is undoubtably the quality. In other words, you would tape the charts on a Sunday night, with your finger hovering over pause to cut off Simon Bates voice (lol), but you would still go out and buy the album or single itself as the copy was shit. Nowadays downloaded content is just as good as the original ITunes copy
While i sort of agree.... if i download something its usually to discover a new band and to see if i like them, if i get really into it i will undoubtedly buy the album. The other reason is to get access to a new album form a band i like early. I'll still go and buy it when its out just i am impatient

currently talking through moving to the states as thats the wife's home kinda thing, were i'm told 50mb+ is the norm, and a hell of a lot cheaper than uk pricing too
but tbh even if it was only 10mb, this country sucks bigtime nowadays so i wouldnt be too bothered either way

ps on the download shit...shouldnt they have started this crap in the 80s when everyone who was anyone had a tape recorder? :O

Most of America isn't much better off than the UK when it comes to available internets speed, but you're much likely to be capped, limited and throttled.

Although you can get fiber wired into your home and go nuts I guess.

Yeah...

Where I am now, we have an option to go up to 35mb, however in NYC FiOS is offering up to 100mb and will offer the same in the DC Metro area, after about a year I think.

My grandparents, who live in the sticks are on an ADSL connection.
