As far as I'm concerned...

Yes, indeed, you are an asshole if you enjoy a whole album but download the whole thing instead of just buying the thing. If you like the band so much that you listen to the whole CD, why not show your support and buy it?

On the other hand, I'm all for downloading singles. Why? Because most record companies feel justified charging $7 or more for ONE song, or probably three tracks on one $7 CD, two of which are shitty remixes of the single in the first place. When bands are just making singles around an entire album rather than making a whole album worth of good music, then I'm not so hasty to pass downloading judgement.

Rest assured, unless it's off different albums, I have no more than three songs by one band off the same album. If I like more than three songs on one album, I'll buy it. But I don't feel like I got my money's worth if I pay almost $20 for THREE SONGS.
