I, and other people here, surely have no interest at all for paying for digital copies of songs/albums. We buy things because we want the tangible disc, booklet, vinyl, poster, etc. Labels are necessary for anything beyond the most rudimentary presentation of an album in any substantial quantity (which is why you may see a band self release something at 100 or less copies). I just don't cherish CD-Rs with the band's name in magic marker very much.
It's not applicable to suggest that we support bands live. Black metal is global and obscure. Only successful bands tour, and rarely outside of their country at that. The number of bands that any one of us could reasonably see probably makes up a tiny percent of what any of us listen to.
