I already had a copy of Ember To Inferno, but it was a burned copy. Well, today I saw a real copy in Sam Goody and I'm like hey....so I bought it. I've also done the same thing with Metallica's garage inc. and black album. Has anyone else ever done the same thing just to support a band?

There are TONS AND TONS of people that do that same thing.
It's also illegal to have copies of things you don't actually own.

loads of people do that, I think its ok as long as you go buy the cd after. Some douche in my school is trying to sell copies of the crusade for £5 each... prick. But I lost him alot of money from pursuading people to buy the real thing..

Do people really care about that though?

for example....
I bought Ascendancy off iTunes, then a couple months later, RR realeased a special edition and i thought 'what the hey' and bought myself a hard copy of it

Typically, no. But music enthusiests care because it takes away from the band.
I always buy actual copies of cds I've downloaded and find myself listening to more than once.

some people may call me crazy, but compared to a real cd copies sound no where near as good, i myself just purchased the new meat loaf album limited edition version £14, i downloaded the leak a few weeks back and thought that i had to buy the cd wen it was released

I don't have enough money to buy all the CD's i like. (that i've downloaded)
But i would buy them all if i did.

I prefere to buy albums, all my cds are original i dont download music at all

i download then i buy
