Push it up the Charts?

[L. Bird]

>I think what Scott is saying is that purchased music
should occur because of intrinsic value instead of
artificially inflated buzzes.   The music *should*
have to be good, or the band should have to be popular.

I agree that it should have to be good in order to succeed.  However, in 
this case, I think think it's already proved to be attractive.  The download 
has already hit #1 in Holland, and the album is sitting at #3 on the UK 
Amazon site, then we can assume the early word-of-mouth on it has been good. 
  A few extra purchases to push it up a bit more won't affect that at all.

However, now I'm wondering if making extra purchases is considered to be 
less ethical somehow than gettng a copy of copyrighted material from a bit 
torrent site within three days after release?
