[quote name='GrilledWitOnions']CD's shouldn't retail for more than $10 anyway. I hope this makes studios wake up and start giving us music that is affordable; you know they are making money like crazy at that price anyway. Can you imagine going to Best Buy each release week and instead of getting a CD for $10 that retails for $15, you get it for $5 that retails at $10? How many people would simply stop downloading music and just buy the damn thing? How many that would have paid $15 retail now buy 3? Why is it taking so long for studios to see this? Am I wrong that they would still be making plenty of money this way?
If a movie, that costs millions to create, costs just a bit more than a CD, which is probably more in the range of thousands to create, something is wrong here. I mean, movies get theater time, but does that really offset the cost enough?[/quote]
You don't understand, though....they need to make up for lost sales on the crap artists that they have to shovel down our ears...the ones that end up failing or not selling enough like the crap pop radio they pour on us. You're right, if the music industry was smart they could drop the price of their product and make up the money in volume sales. They're just a bunch of college educated morons.
