Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with Poppy, until the record company cease to charge such vastly inflated prices it will always happen. Just take for instance, I could (not saying that I do) go down to my local computer fair pick up 100 cd and jewelcases for £19. Take into consideration ink £8 for 200 pages, excluding distribution, marketing, artists fees, and other miscellaneous overheads the cost per cd is £0.19 per cd
Now take in to account the scale of economy, the cd manufacturers are producing over 200,000 cds a day by my reckoning the cost of a cd is now down to less than £0.02 per unit. You cannot tell me that overheads amount to more than £2 per unit, which then means that £10 goes to the record company and the artist.
The lessons of a market economy is if that your clientele is going elsewhere you tempt them back, usually in reduced prices.
The other point is that the internet is killing music. They cried that in the 80's with the "Home Taping is killing Music" campaign. Hmmm! well I suppose in a way it did because we ended up with Take that, Blue and all these really crass boy bands.
I simply won't download music, and I won't buy until there is decent music to be had to buy
