Re: RE:Napster launches world's biggest online music store Well I was actually going by the price of the songs quoted in the article
quote:
Moving "from under the DRM cloud," Napster is selling tunes for a still-not-cheap-enough 79p a pop.....
and considering the average albums in my collection have at least 10 tracks, that works out to be at least £7.90 which would mean a whopping 9p per album saved on average based on what I can buy CD's for here in the UK if I bought modern music.
Personally I don't don't buy modern music in general, but nor do I download modern music, even at a price point of 0p most of it's still worthless imo.
Most of the albums in my collection have 7 or more good tracks on them because I only buy what I actually like.
Do I download music? You're damn right I do, if the studios won't reissue, but mostly I buy second hand discs, again because the studios deem old stuff to be unworthy of reissue most times.
If the studios and the associations actually listened to their customers instead of ignoring and marginalising them, they would see better results imo.
I agree that you will always get people who won't pay no matter what, a point I referenced in my original post, but the studios and the associations have asked for a lot of the problems they now face. |
