To be fair Spleen, I don't think that that was what was meant!
Drifting from the Original point (again!) for a minute. The reason I don't do downloads is threefold.
1. If I had all my music on a Hard Drive/I Pod whatever, The Drive would probably crash or I'd lose the I pod!
2. If I lived on downloads, I'd soon forget what was on it!
With CDs I often glance along the racks and go, Hey, I'd forgotten about that one..
3. Listening to music on a computer, particularly Windows media player with those stupid scrawly things going on makes my blood run cold.

It was suggested earlier that one could download VOTP. Great, and it ends up about 50 quid cheaper. What you don't get is the wealth of information in the booklets that come with the CDs.

As for availability (due to shops closing down etc). If I want a CD I'd firstly buy direct from the artist, That way they get a bigger slice of the cake. Failing that, there are plenty of specialist on-line shops catering for all tastes. (I tryand avoid Amazon though..It's a bit too corporate for my tastes)
And, I quite like the idea of witing for the postman to turn up with a package! Everyday feels like Christmas!

Downloads just feel soulless to me! If that makes me a Luddite, so be it!
None of that solves the original problem of Legal/Illegal downloads, It's just my personal viewpoint.
So, back to the subject in hand.
