Re: Isn't It Amazing It can't be free.
Someone has to set up and maintain the website/servers. That costs money.
Someone has to rip the music and make sure it is the song and not cut off or not bass boosted or all the other issues of P2P. All that does cost money.
What about setting up a call center outside the US to answer all the irate phone calls. That costs money.
And then the companies deserve to make money. After all it is a business. The 1000% margin is a bit much (call it jealousy) though.
As far as the same pirated works that you could download for free. No. It is the same pirated works you could steal for free.
If the record companies would lower their pricing and remove the DRM. I would stop buying CDs.
