bad news for the op, the composer knows about you!
I’ve bought Mr. Llewllyn’s scores for "Dead Souls" and "Deep in the Darkness" because I listened to them from shares here at the shrine – so much for "destroying the business"..!
As someone who owns over 1000 soundtracks on CD (and a few hundred more on LP) I think that I supported the industry and the composers enough. (And still doing it!)
In the old days I went to music-stores to listen to new releases; now listening to scores from downloading is just another way (for me) to find music that I like, and if I like it I buy it, too! That’s because I still prefer to hold something physical in my hands, to read a good written booklet, to enjoy great artworks & design and to put a CD in the player; and also because I really want to support the artist. Maybe I’m just one of 1000 who thinks so, but hopefully I’m wrong.
So: if you like a specific score, go and buy it!

I’m the same way. Another use I have for ffshrine is getting lossless copies of music I’ve bought off iTunes or Amazon mp3.
By the way i have trouble understanding why they put their brand new releases on streaming sites like spotify : they might have to rethink a bit their business model imo.
