The RIAA has this problem because they don't know sh!t about business. Why is it that i can buy the DVD for less than the soundtrack CD? The RIAA wonders why we don't pay $15 for a 15 track CD with only 1 or 2 good tracks and 13 sh!ty songs. If they knew anything about current mentality, of teenagers, they would drop their prices in half or a third. Current CDs cost ~$15 if they were ~$5-7.50 i quarenty they would sell much more and make a larger profit. Most people see the $15 price tag and say f this and dl it from kazaa.
Anyone notice that the movie industry doesn't have this problem and why? DVDs hold tons more info and come with hours of special features and can cost less than the CD soundtrack. Moreover, when DVDs first came out they were expensive, but eventually they went down in prices (even lower than VHS--when VHS was the standard) and ever since more and more people have been buying movies. I have 290 movies in my collection and it keeps going, but do you think it would be that high if i was charger $30-$40 per DVD? HE!! NO. I do it because i buy at $10-$15 (LESS than most music CDs).
OMG movie industry learned that 1million at $25 = $25million and 10million at $10 = $100million but music industry is just too fing stupid to understand that concept so f them untill they lower their prices and stop dishing out half-@ssed CDs with 1 or two good tracks out of 15.
You can't prove me wrong, because the music industry NEVER lowers their prices. Moreover, how many people that read this have a DVD?
