I learned about the later wave of prog music from illegal downloading 11 or 12 years ago. Found this band called Camel, then PT, The Flower kings, Pendragon, etc. I'm not sure if I would have found the music that I am totally passionate about these days without the internet. That said, I have purchased 25 or so CD/ DVD's so far this year, and a fair amount the previous years, and have bought a few concert tickets as well. I like that I can preview a few clips from youtube to see if I will like a CD or not, but I will never download from there or anywhere else. I've noticed that some prog bands put 3 or so tracks on youtube for our consumption, and that approach will not allow a thief to download an entire album, but will give a would be purchaser a good taste of what they are wanting to buy. Good and bad with Youtube.
