Also - priorities change as we're getting older too (had to put that in there). We have bills to pay, kids are growing up and go to college etc. About 20, 30 years ago we didn't have all those responsibilities. Some of us might not even know that there's a new album out on the market because our attention doesn't go there anymore because of that. I also blame the marketing people. The publicity in Europe is horrible. A friend of mine went to buy SWS and they didn't even know who Lindsey was. When she said Fleetwood Mac, they still didn't know and she had to spell his name. Luckily for her they had one copy. And that's another thing that drives people to illegally download: if the albums aren't for sale in some countries, people are going download it illegally because they want to hear it. Fleetwood Mac (or Stevie or Lindsey) albums aren't for sale everywhere, in some countries the albums aren't even released.
