When I was a poor student I still bought quite a lot of CDs & records. Can't quite remember how I could afford them & go to parties but it probably had something to do with working in the summer & part time while at school!
People who download I always think just aren't that into music, which is fine but I struggle to understand it! I love music with every fibre of my being. I love people who are more talented than me & can make it & I would like to show my support to them.
Capitalism? I'm a firm supporter of capitalism. People expecting artists to produce music for free are communists
