how much do people pay for a record with 1-2 songs on it? 10 bucks?
lets say 60% of that cost is distribution and material costs.
*gasp* thats two dollars a song!
i paid 8 or 9 dollars for squarepushers "do you know squarepusher" a
year or so ago. one sided vinyl. one track.
i paid around 15 for afx - two remixes. 2 dollars a tune isnt really
that much, all things considering. i assume that a lot of the tracks
soma would be selling arent from full-lenght albums, so you'd be paying
more than that to get them anyway.
the option to download something from a p2p service should not have any
impact on the decision to buy a track or not.
