i have no idea what sparked this, but i have to say that i agree.

however, i will say that i am a terrible, no good, very bad fan, because i just don't have the extra money to buy music, so for the past few years i have downloaded EVERYTHING, with the exception of Blake's album. My fiance bought me a copy of that, and even when he asked me to upload tracks for him, I told him he could go out and buy his own copy, lol. but it's rare that i've supported a artist as fully as i support blake. so idk. everybody's view on downloading is different.

but if i could be in a position to be buying all of this music and not freely downloading it, i absolutely would.
