I just think if you're an actual fan you would want to buy the music both to keep the artist continuing to record and simply out of respect that this is their trade and they should be paid for it.

I stole her music first and then was inspired to buy it to get her to make more.
I have no problem admitting that. I illegally downloaded alot of my favorite artists music before buying it. And I now own all of Stevie's music as well as theirs. It actually does happen, even if it doesn't make sense.
