To be fair, I have about 250 downloaded tracks on my player. But I have nearly 5700 that are ripped from my own CDs. The downloaded tracks are mostly for testing and nostalgic purposes. A lot of things that I do intend to buy and a lot of stuff that I still have no clue where I'll be able to buy.
I've got some Trans X, Nu Shooz, Debbie Deb, Cake, Hooverphonic, Altered Images, Kraftwerk, Mr.Oizo, etc. Now, Cake, Hooverphonic and Kraftwerk won't be a problem for me to find full-length albums and buy. The others?
The RIAA can kiss my ass. The *last* thing they're about are the artists. Besides, if I had to give up one nation's music, the USA (sorry) would be one of the easiest.
