which would you prefer?
A- download capable: i heard of a band named doubledrive .(thru a net forum) download 2 songs from net, if i like, i probably purchase a CD. if not, i possibly DL newer songs later again for 2nd evaluation.
B- no DL capable: never know if i might like DD or not.
im not saying either is right or wrong, and dont know if DD has a site or samples, but have been curious about your band, but would be very unlikely to buy CD without hearing your beats.
keep on rocking. respectfully, - ben

I've answered this before, but I'll answer it again:
Downloads are a GREAT marketing tool, and a great way to sample an artist's music....and my band offers samples on our own site, and elsewhere such as
www.mp3.com, www.amazon.com, etc...and I have no problem with people downloading music that artists WILLINGLY provide for such purposes.
The problem is when people make an artist's songs available for download WITHOUT the permission of the artist. I don't care if it's my band or my worst enemy's band...the principle is WRONG, and it's illegal.
