Story: Canada: Downloading music is legal

It's great that downloading music is now legal. Many musicians don't seem to get the fact that through downloading, more and more people become aware of who they (the artisits) are and what type of music they perform. If it wasn't for bootlegging music (making recordings of tapes and handing them out), garage bands, like Metallica would NEVER have gotten recognized and gained any attention.
Downloading music does not stop me from still going out to buy CD's from record stores; sometimes I'm just too lazy to sit at my PC and find all the songs that I need for the complete CD, so it's just easier to buy them ( and it saves space in my computer). And as well, it has not put any hinderance on my going to see concerts of different artists, where I pay up to $125+ a pop, for a 2 hour show. How much more of my money do they want??
I'm just glad that it's now legal and I'm not thought of as a criminal.
