Why would anyone buy a new cd anyway? I can buy twice as many used cds for the same amount of money, and no royalties go to the RIAA or the artist (I don't care about the artist either, as long as they are going to be a part of the blanket problem of a few corporations controlling an entire industry). If I really want to support the artist, I can always go to a concert, buy a t-shirt, or in the case of an indie label, buy the album off their website.
