Or the rise of the consumer, rebelling against all of the crappy music out
there.
I still think it's funny that there's "all this money" purportedly being
lost when they're not losing any physical product (like, oh say, the *rest*
of the piracy world), there are still plenty of manufactured stars and
bands, and they're printing more music than they're selling. Yet they
never stop to think that, oh, maybe like every other industry on the
planet, that if you don't offer a quality product, people will take their
money elsewhere.
You get 1 hour of questionable entertainment on a $18 CD. You get 2 hours
of entertainment you're much more sure of on a $20 DVD. I wonder why the
CD industry is losing money? Maybe they should take a look at the DVD
industry and take some pointers -- give people what they want, and at a
good price.
