Re: OiNK closed down...
Also, Jakiri's arguments are sound. If I was relying on what I could buy directly as the basis for my musical knowledge and taste then I would be utterly ****ed, as would, I imagine, the majority of the bands in question. I am sure that most of the bands I listen to regularly would not be where they are today were it not through a combination of word of mouth and downloads, leading onto more intensive fandom.
