Yes, I do use shareware as a term for peer 2 peer or file sharing. Sorry for any confusion
I went back over some of the posts and there still isn't really any viable options here. I really don't think that boycotting is an option. All you end up doing is hurting the artist. In regards to the statement that "downloading is killing music" I think that it's definately a part of it. I wouldn't say that it's 100% of it. The rising costs of CDs isn't helping either.
