metallica sure does not! :)

Agreed.  But that is your situation.  I know its a common one but it is 
definitely a relative/point of reference thing.  I think for most 
people on this site your example would be a benefit.  Once someone is 
established, its a different story altogether.  Have i downloaded MP3's 
illegally?  Sure i have.  But i do buy as much music as i can afford.  
The collectors mentality is some thing i truly enjoy.  I think there is 
a big difference between having a cd release on mp3 and having the real 
mcoy, packaging an all.  unfortunately there is no way i could ever 
really afford all of the music that i would want to own.
