RIAA Says CDs Should Cost More

[method77]

Yes. The american music industry thinks cds are cheap. The RIAA 'Key Facts' page claims that based on the 1983 price of CDs, the 1996 price should have been $33.86. So naturally, you should feel like you're getting a bargain.

I don't know.

$25 for a hundred isn't bad.

[method77]

25 for a hundred is way to expensive. I get 100 Verbatim for 12 euros

[rainbowdemon]

But how much is a Euro compared to a dollar?

Never mind.

12.00 EUR

Euro = 15.6180 USD

United States Dollars

does anyone remember ages ago when they were swearing up and down that the price of a CD would be less than a record?

i do. fuck the RIAA.

[method77]

the cost of creating a cd is nothing. I learned that when I was in sound engineering school. It's simple plastic. The vinyl on the other hand, is expensive

have i said 'fuck the RIAA' yet? and fuck the multi-national music corps as well.

Now that they have finally got with the program and are making money on legal downloads they will probaly use that estimate in some future press release about how much money pirating is costing them.
