I have almost had exactly the same experience as you (the writer). I currently have an MOG and Spotify subscription, but when a song hit's a sweet spot and I get emotionally attached, I end up buying it in the iTunes store. I most likely will start buying CD's again as soon as I get a new AV system, but if it wasn't for piracy I have no idea how I would of ever been so attached to music. All genres. Now with me going legal, MOG/Spotify act's as my piracy used to in letting me explore, and if the music touches me, I buy it. Only time I "pirate" is I want it in FLAC. There still isn't an option for lossless music online that satisfy my range of genres. <i>I still don't have the guts to delete my music collection though. </i> TLDR; Used to pirate a lot, helped me be more open to listen to different types of music. Now use MOG/Spotify to explore, and buy what I want to KEEP FOREVER.
