i think it's just about human nature more than anything. i have the means to go out and purchase every single cd that i have downloaded but because i don't have to i just won't. when i was growing up and i had to i would no question. until they make stricter laws about piracy i'm practically choosing what record label/artist to donate to every time i buy an album. i've never been a big donater...and if you going to create some sort of preview don't let it be the whole album because then you've already got too much benefit to pay the cost. it's like if they let you go into a movie then asked you to pay after you watched it. you might pay sometimes and might not other times if you didn't like the movie. but if you have to pay i advance no matter what = a lot more sales. it's all about the cost / benefit ratio.
