Napster and Audiogalaxy are how I got exposed to Gord's music, back in the golden age of filesharing.

Now I own every single one of his CDs. Same for Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, and a number of other artists you wouldn't expect the typical 24 year old to be into. In fact, I wouldn't own half the CDs I do (700+) if it wasn't for being able to listen to the songs for free first.

The record industry doesn't seem to understand that there's millions of people like me. They are shooting themselves in the foot with their war against filesharing.

Well said.
