I hardly ever actually buy music, unless it's a gift for somebody else. Like I bought my sister two albums this Christmas, M83 and TDCC.
When I want music for myself, I just take it off youtube. I used to this when I was younger as well. I would record songs off the radio that I liked and then keep them for myself.
The only artists that I've ever paid money to buy songs from have been ones that I really really liked. They make most of their money from live shows, TV appearances, books, magazines, radio deals, merchandising. I really don't think that whilst they're rolling around in their million dollar mansions they're crying over the 50 Cents they didn't get from me because I downloaded their song from youtube for free.
Do you think pirating music is really that big of a deal?
