I am totally in favor of downloading the album, if its leaked out before release.. I run an FTP site, so I will prolly have it as soon as its leaked out. I get MP3's to find out about new bands, get bootlegs and hard to find stuff. But I also own close to 800 CD's as well, I am totally addicted to getting them. I really see no problem with downloading stuff, as long as you buy them at some point, or at least go see them live and get a shirt or 2 ;-)
