said by denden2002:Being forced to pay ~$18 for a CD where only a handful of songs at best that are actually good, on top of that many artists only release 10-15 songs per CD..
When you look at the cost breakdown of how much an artist gets paid for their work in relation to how much you pay.. that is paying a ransom for the liscence to enjoy their content.
The middle man is essentially telling you you will pay this much for this content while i give only so much to the artist (unreasonably low amount) and I as a middle man keep the rest... That my e-friend is paying a ransom to release the liscence to cultural media for your own enjoyment.
