I pirate bands when I first hear about them or they are recommended to me. Then from there if I don't like their music I can delete it and move on, but more often than not if I like the band I end up buying one of their CD's. Pirating (or simply listening to some of it on Youtube) has led to me buying more CD's than anything else.

This has happened many times for me. My friend told me to go listen to Rise Against a few years ago so I downloaded their most popular stuff like Prayer of the Refugee, Give It All, Ready to Fall, The Good Left Undone, etc. and I found out I love their stuff, and right now I own every single one of their CD's.
