I support artists who are deemed worthy of my cash.

I'd say I've paid for about 50% of my music, the rest isn't good enough to buy, but I'll listen to a track or two.

I buy music if I feel like it. Like at stores. Not from online services like iTunes. I hate that.

I hate iTunes because artists get even less money from it than they do from album sales.

Radiohead still get money from all their albums that are physically sold, but the way EMI worded their contract, "disc formats", they get 0% from online sales.

A lot of artists are in the same boat and it's not right that Apple and the record company split the profits (because it's all profit - no discs to be printed, nothing to be given the artists), so I don't support digital downloads at all.

I don't know, anyone who supports iTunes is a terrorist.
