> Spend $15 for a CD or spend the same for three months access to an enormous catalog of music? I'm picky about my music, so I don't buy new CDs that often, but when I do, it's usually for an artist I really like. When I have the opportunity, it's at a show for that artist, which hopefully means that they're getting a larger chunk of that $15 than it would if I buy it elsewhere. Music and books are, of the media you listed, the ones where you could conceivably have a dinner party with all of the creative folks involved.
