been through it before, the manufactured cost of a record/CD is not the only cost to a record company. Yeah major labels suck and the dispursement of profit is ridicously, but that's not my fault and there's so much info out their these days that I can't feel sorry for anyone finding themselves in a bad deal. People regularly pay $100 for a pair of shoes with no problems, what do you think the real cost of those is. Boycott Nike for not giving their shoes away! Bloody mafia those shoe companies I tell ya.
