Re:No, use common sense. (Score 1)

Record companies asked for it. Not only do they pressure bands to put out sub par records but they charge more for CD's when CD's cost less to make than tapes. If CD prices cost the same as tapes(they'd still be making more off CD's than tapes) I'd consider buying them but right now, they screw me I screw them. I'd rather send a donation to the band. Even if we blame the band for having one good song and 10 crappy ones on an album we can still blame the record company for not selling that 1 good song by itself for a couple of bucks. Distribution woes still falls squarely on the record company. BTW I find it odd that the music, movie and software industries whine so much about piracy when they have some of the largest profit margins of any industry.
