and going to tha store and buying a cd that had wack production flows etc. thats a slap in tha face for tha person that bought it, burning cd's is saving money for tha consumer (im not saying burning is tha way to go) and also more exposure for tha artist, people will buy tha OG cd eventually cause if they like it they will buy it and look out for more future releases from that artist, i sure hell like to listen to a cd first before i buy cause i dont want to waste a dub for nothin when i coulda bought some food with that, you can hate burning downloading etc but that shit will never stop, you can guaruntee you meet any person anywhere, they either burn cd's or have burnt cd's or have people burn it for them, its everywhere
