Fans Say the Darndest Things

Last night, a woman buying a CD from me says, "My friend just bought your other CD, so I'll get this one and we'll just burn copies for each other." I didn't reply to that, but I sure would like to have a witty way of suggesting they buy, not burn for the future. I'm not totally against burning or making personal copies of music you love, of course. But I tend to avoid doing so with indie artists. Seeing as CD sales at gigs are a major income source, the least you can do is not tell the artist you're planning on copying their work for distribution!
