The internet is freely accessible for more people, so it's a good medium to spread the music. So bands need to use it more. Downloading and streaming actually are a part of modern society, as it connects the world to your [the band's] music.
To use downloads as a check whether or not you like the music, it's ok. If you like it, keep it, keep track of the band and go support them on their tours by buying tickets and merchandise. If you don't like the music, erase the download asap and forget about the band.
