[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] A single tracy only make you want to hear more (if it's good) and hence more copies of the original are sold. If the entire album is readily available online, and everyone loves it enough to download it, sales of the album will still increase as people will want the better quality version or at the very least,[/qb][/QUOTE]That's the crux of the argument. I don't think it's necessarily true that people will go out and buy albums of songs they've downloaded for the increased quality, because 99% of people can't tell the difference. I've bought some albums based on songs I've downloded, but I'm not kidding myself that it's anywhere near the number I haven't bought, even from artists I've liked. And judging by the size of most people's mp3 collections, I'd say that holds true for a lot of people. It is nice and noble, saying "I only download songs to test them, and then I immedietly rush out and buy all those that I've liked, while deleting those that I haven't". But I doubt it's true. Quick check: How many commercially available songs do people have on their computers? And how many albums have they bought since they've started those collections? [/QB][/QUOTE]
