For several decades now Janis Ian has been a powerhouse in the world of music. With a tremendously broad musical style, very captivating lyrics and an endearing personality she has captured the 'hearts & minds' of people from all over the world.
As one of the few people in the music industry that actually 'gets it' she has gone out on a limb to defend downloading and has made it her business to inform the audience of the misconceptions spread by the RIAA and their ilk.
If you haven't heard any Janis Ian songs (I can't imagine, but there may be such people around) try the songs "Seventeen" and the sensual "Ride me like a wave".
And once you're sold on Janis please go to her website (see link on this page) and download some more mp3 format songs there for your enjoyment, and please don't forget to tip her if you agree with the try before you buy scheme and you like the songs.
Without the record companies in between a little bit should go a long way !
