It's an easy decision for me. If the artist(s) aren't down with pirating music, then I probably don't listen to them anyway. Punk rock, local bands, etc always encourage pirating music and making bootleg recordings of their shows. So I will travel far and wide to see a band live, but I'm sure as hell not paying $15 for a cd in a corperate retail store.

As for movies, I hardly care about them anyway.
