Interesting article today on the state of filesharing.
I especially like Rob Thomas’ comments about new artists.

iplaying: One Evening – Feist (Let it Die) – yes, a song that I downloaded. Actually, the entire album. But I’m more of a try before you buy kind of guy nowadays. In some cases not even! I’ll go buy an album on a whim and if it sucks, ah well.

Also recently announced, Spain doesn’t like file sharing.
And even better, a Swedish dude is offering insurance to content pirates.
This will be interesting to see how it turns out. All I can say is, I love the recordable media levy. But I’m also a try-before-I-buy kinda guy, but I’ll always buy new young bands… gotta help the guys on their way, ya know?
agreed, although i’m a downloading junkie, i’ve purchased more cds from artists i might have stayed away from before, now that i’ve explored their music via mp3 download. does that make sense? right. anyway, i’m all about the download.
