I remember when I was a gamefly member, about 2 or 3 years ago, they started doing this thing where as soon as the post office received your game, gamefly would send out a new one.
The idea was that this would make the turnaround time shorter. Even then, it was put game in mailbox Monday after 2pm, receive a new game by Friday.
I think the best thing to do is buy a game, then either trade it on goozex, or sell it on Amazon and then use that money to buy another game.
I'd say Myspace has been a great thing for local bands. It's extremely easy to hear a few of their songs and sample their music, and it's also extremely easy to see when they'll be playing a show and where.
Myspace isn't really designed for them to hold a long boring biography or a history of their tour dates. It also doesn't have a nice section for them to sell their merchandise either like t-shirts and cd's. Also a forum / message board is missing for fans to talk with each other.
I think myspace is more like a sampler of the band, and if you want more info or want to buy stuff, then they're supposed to link you to their official website somewhere on there. But like you said, most of the time the myspace page is their only website.

You say it's theft but the courts say it's copyright infringement, which carries a much higher penalty.
