Why do you want to patronize the artists that you enjoy?
Because it is easier and more reliable to do so than not?
If I could guarantee the same quality of experience and ease of access for free I wouldn't pay to see a film or listen to an album......
In fact since I discovered torrenting some years ago I haven't paid for an album. And the only reason I don't take the same approach to films is that it's a fucking bind to download them and then transfer to a format that I can watch at my leisure on TV.
Then you have the whole 3D cinema thing....
If I had a 3D cinema in my house with the latest films downloaded for free I wouldn't pay for any of them.
Would you?
Where I do pay for music is to see bands live. And that is because you cannot achieve "he same quality of experience and ease of access" for free.
But if someone offered me free tickets I would take them...
