As for taking sites like this one down, I'm kinda backing this as the artists to need time for the music to be announced then released to create awareness. Once released though......it's fair game getting those mp3s however you want. The real money for musicians is in touring, plain and simple. A 35 dollar T-shirt that they bought for a buck a piece is how they make a living, NOT through album sales.
