There are loads of great albums that have not been manufactured for years. Most of the time you'll see these albums go on eBay for 30-70$. However, the artist doesn't get a penny from those auctions, as the albums are obviously used. So the only one who benefits is the seller of the album, so I don't see buying out of print albums as helping the music business.

Sacramentum's Far Away from the Sun, Phlebotomized's Immense, Intense, Suspense and Invocator's Excursion Demise. There's just a few examples of albums out of print. Should people not listen to these pieces just because they can't be found anywhere, or if they are found, the price is 3-7 times of the price of an new album? I don't see any moral problem downloading these releases.
