going to the shows is the best way to get money into the bands pockets.

+All the more reason to 'buy' music rather than get it for free. Better to 
buy a CD and hope the band gets a few cents rather than get it for free and 
know that they will get nothing at all.

+And go to their shows. And tell friends about them. Promote/support bands 
however seems fit to you. I have friends who, honestly, get songs online just 
to out the album or band and then go buy it if they like it. Kudos to that. 
+
+I realize the recording industry is lecherous on a, oh, fairly regular 
basis. But I still think it's far better to buy a CD or go to a band's 
website and download stuff that they willingly have available for free or at 
a cost that they determine than it is to go to a site that offers 
"everything" regardless of the will of the artists involved.

+Again, I'm not judging anyone else for their MP3-downloading habits--this is 
just me.
