I am guessing you don't buy the vinyl? If you do than do you turn around and buy mp3's as well?
I do. If I don't get the mp3s I go without them. Sometimes I forgo the vinyl and get the CD used for cheap and make my own.

Yeah, I wasn't making the case that I was "entitled" to the MP3s, legally. I was just saying it was good business. Look, let me give you an example: Waxahatchee was selling LPs for $12 and CDs for $9. There was no download codes. I'm predisposed to buy the vinyl and give you the extra $3, but if I buy the lesser option, I can have both a physical copy and the MP3s I rip. (I, like most people, do not have the technology to rip vinyl records directly.)
I understand that vinyl costs more but I still am willing to wager bands make more selling me a vinyl at a higher price over a CD. You incentive me, a consumer who doesn't steal music, by giving me a negligible cost extra item. It just seems like a win-win.
That said, I am not the intellectual property owner of any music and therefore my business ideas are quite irrelevant.

This argument is getting boring. Isn't there something better we could be arguing about.

That's pretty fascist and paternalistic of you to impose your views on women's health issues.

Oh, you fucking just didn't. Have you seen my oeuvre? Have you fucking seen it? My collection of works in this capacity is legendary. I'm the goddamned Nelson Mandela of this community. I spent years in online Elba for my efforts, and some sniveling punk who's best known for complaining Baltimore and Richmond are stealing DCs shows wants to talk about talking truth to fucking power. Oh fuck no.
