If you shop smart and buy during sales you can get brand name CDR's for 50
cents to $1.00 each. That's as low as 1/5th of the price of a mini-disc if
your $2.50 price is accurate. Rebate offers which are regularly available
give you CDR's for free after rebate. I haven't paid more than $1.00 for a
CDR in a really long time. If you want a re-recordable CD there are CDRW's
available which have come way down in price. You can find them in bulk for
about $1.50 each.

I personally haven't copied vinyl onto CD and sold the vinyl...but if the
records are out-of-print and unavailable I don't see how anyone is getting
screwed by copying an out of print item onto CD for yourself and selling the
vinyl. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do since it's copyrighted
material, but I also don't see any tangible way the artist is losing any
money in the transaction. If the vinyl items are available for sale, or if
someone is selling CD copies, then it's a totally different story - I'd
agree the artist is getting screwed.
