WORD. One of the bands I'm very, very into--as in, buy all the albums, go to whatever concerts I can--I wouldn't have known about them except that I saw an X-Files fanvid. And then I downloaded every song I could find of theirs on Napster (when it was still available), and now I have purchased every album of theirs I could.
This is true of movies, of TV shows, of music, and of books. I'm a little more free with my book buying these days, but I still tend to read the first and last chapter of books I'm thinking about buying before I do so. And I tend to buy books more often when I know I love them and will read them again. I tend to buy TV shows when I know I'll watch them multiple times, or movies. Nearly everyone I know feels the same way. They test things out before buying. We can do this with so many other things in life; why can't we do this with media like TV and movies? I just don't get it.
