Music
There's an interesting article on SimpleBits, entitled The Cheapening of Music. I agree completely. Before this whole download thing, I went to the recordstore on a regular basis, comparing prices and sales to see how to get the most music for money. Now I tend to buy only the releases by only my very favourite bands and get a whole lot of others through, well, alternative channels. Most end up on a shelf, getting less airplay then the albums I bought after the careful process mentioned above.
