Buying CDs, records or cassettes (in CSDO's case) supports the band.

But how much?

As an example, I downloaded both Cynic albums when I was turned on to them a while ago. Love them both, they quickly became favorites. How much money did I deny the band by not purchasing those records? By a very GENEROUS estimate, they lost approximately $1.50 in revenue.

Meanwhile, I went to see them the second they came through Boston this year. How much of that ticket sale did they get to keep? I bet at LEAST $1.50. Now, let's discuss the $200 I spent at their merch table. How much of that $200 was band profit, from that hoodie, t-shirt, drum head, drum sticks, and CD I bought?

So you can see, my fucking that poor sorry band out of $1.50 actually earned them well over $100 in pure profit. THIS is the model way more bands need to adopt and get used to. Without that initial piracy, I might not even know who Cynic is right now. Hell, It took me 15 years to find out about them as it is!
