Re: I will ALWAYS rip you off Mr. Michael Greene yeah they charge too much. it costs about a dollar to make a cd, give or take, depending what's included.
bands must know what they're getting into before signing with the devil, unless they're completely oblivious to common knowledge. so they must just w ant to be famous, and not care what the impact is.
there are plents of thousands and thousands of bands out there, that DON'T charge you 18 dollars to buy there cd, and in most cases it's infinatly better than what you'll get from some band with the riaa. plan-it-x won't charge over 5 dollars for a cd, and they are great. there are tons of other labels like them, too. you just have to look. they can be found everywhere, at your local music venue, etc.
i personally refuse to pay over 10 dollars for a cd. more than that, and it's not worth it to me, because the band/label obviously doesn't care about me.
as far as napster, etc, i've bought WAY more cds than i ever would have without it, simply by finding new music i wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise. i like to know what i'm buying before hand. although, 99% of them are are indie, so the riaa doesn't get my money anyway. i wouldn't be surprised if that's a major reason they won't to stop filesharing. with it, consumers can have more of a choice of music to buy, and see there ARE alternatives to the capitalist pigs that they are.
that's about all i have to say. i apologize if this post makes little sense, i'm in a very big hurry, the bell is about to ring.[at school]
