Basically there good reasons for MP3's like for bands that albums arent available in some countries and they may have fans there and the only way the can hear the stuff is through mp3's. Also you will find CD Sales alone dont even come close making back the money some artists spend on recording a album, Touring is there best way of making money back on an album release then sales of the album itself.
Basically I dont mind MP3's as long as if you like the band buy there album and surport them by going to there gigs.
Some Artists dont seem to see that the good side of MP3's is that more people are exposed to there music therefor bringing them a bigger turn out at there shows.
