Remember vinyl back in the day? Remember some of the bands that put so much into the artwork, lyric sheets, etc? Off hand I can think of the early White Zombie LPs and EPs. Rob Zombie put a lot of work into those releases. You can't download that stuff.
You can't download the 10 killer pages of artwork that Geoff is going to do. Right now there are ways for bands to try and combat illegal downloading, giving them something they can't download is one way. I'm sure someone will scan the artwork, but it's clearly not the same.
