Actually you probably are, or at least will be within another 10 years. A whole generation have grown up where any music they might want is available for free in the internet. It's given a massive boost to sales of independent music, with more bands than ever bringing out CDs on the distro circuit. They wouldn't do that if nobody was buying them.

Mainstream manufacturerd music has also benefitted from increased audience figures and merchandise sales at live events. That's why the labels that feed off them now demand a cut from those sales.
