Gee, I seem to remember that when CDs first came out and it became clear that the cost of volume production was nil, they promised that prices would be cut a factor of ten compared to records and tapes. Then they back-tracked to 'less than tapes', which they made sort of true by Raising the price of cassettes to more than double the old levels.
Now that everyone has mostly replaced all of the albums they really want to, sales are heading back to the levels of most of the past century, about two albums (CDs) per year per person. That being half of the level During the replacement process, they expect Us to support their 'sales projections' smoke and mirror crap While they vilify us, legally and otherwise. Idiots indeed!
