Man, everyone seems so happy that the prices are coming down. Does anyone stop to look at why they can lower prices 1/3 of what they were selling them for. they are dropping the price $6 from $18. It most likely only cost them $2 to produce and package the CD. $1-2 goes to the artist, which means the grand total is $3-4 range to make, market and pay the artist for a CD. That means the rest of the $18 cost is pure profit. Now they are saying well we've held you hostage for so long that now you are willing to download music instead of buying it, we need to do something. I know lets just cut our profits in half. This will show we are trying real hard to get you to come back, and we will still be making a fortune, but you won't mind because now you can buy CD's for $10-12 bucks!!!! Sure goes to show that all the people who have been saying they are gouging us and fixing prices were right!!!!!
