Is that records are just promotional items now.
With the piracy that goes on record sales have tanked.

Artists make thier money touring and with merchandise.

Watch the record industry sign future artists and demand a piece of the touring action
Although I am sure piracy has impacted sales, I think it is a minor player. Lets put it this way, a CD costs $10-20, on average. Now with that CD I get maybe an hour of music.

Or I could spend $15 and get a DVD with a 2 hour movie loaded with hours of bonus features.

Or I could cough up a bit more money and get a video game that will give me endless hours of entertainment.

For the price vs entertainment ratio, CDs are the losers.
thats the thing on average a CD semi new release is around 15 bucks. it just so happens World of Warcraft costs me 15 bucks a month and gets much more use then a CD will. even if i bought one CD a month, the entertainment dollar ratio cant match my WoW subscription.

CDs have ALWAYS been promotional items... for the artists. The recording companies take such a huge cut of CD sales... bah, don't get me started... and the recording companies already get a substantial cut of tours in that the bands owe so much to the companies that it takes a tour or 3 to get them into the clear.

If records were more reasonably priced, sales would be higher and filesharing would be lower.
