Hmm, suppport a local (likely small) business vs. steal intellectual property. Tough choice.

This is not valid. You should support the local business and local musician buy purchasing new music.
Besides, isn't buying a used CD pretty much the same idea as downloading as far as the artist is concerned? They are not getting a cut.

Yes, and I suppose you also oppose the buying and selling of used cars because auto workers don't get a cut. All houses should be be burned to the ground rather than being resold so construction workers have jobs. Same with anything antique.
If you want to support a local artist, go to their concerts. Artists get very little from CD sales. That all goes to the music industry, perhaps the most corrupt industry on Earth.
