scans are mainly used for providing info
for example, a person who submits scans can not have the time to add info (cd staff, compo/arr details etc) and thus with scans provided, anyone can see and fill in the blanks for the whole community
personally, I'm just fine with compo/vocal details but other people want arrangers etc
on another note, piracy can have an advantage (not necessarily lossless, but simple mp3s)
the one to know if you could like or hate the album, and if you like the album you buy it or you delete the "shit"
some onlineshop sites propose to listen to tracks (ok, about 45sec) and it's not considered as piracy even if it's "free" and you can even listen to music in real shops
