I would like to see a few people buy the CD (ideally, just one, but 
this isn't an ideal world, so there's always going to be a few people who
will buy it,) and copy it for other fans for the price of the media. If
it comes down to the band not getting any royalties I would just like to
see that the person who is trying to profit from their work does not make
a fortune from it. Oh yeah, and we did make it to my ideal world, I'd like
it if at least some of those who took a copy of the CD were to send a few
dollars to the band, or a charitable cause supported by the band, as a
means of balancing karma. Bad karma follows you around[1] :-)
