[BC] Virgin Megastores to close

[Bowen, Jonathan]

I heard someone say (I agree with them) that if they dropped the price to a reasonable rate like $0.05 or even $0.10 a song then everyone would make more money and the people would be happier.

I guess it's just like with oil when you play with the market and restrict it then the supply and demand rules get all messed up and nothing works out like it should. 

I just want someone to do some really in depth investigation into where all the $0.99 a song goes. I'd like to see how much an artist gets for each song. Course a free market also creates opportunity to change things so just like open source software and the creative commons stuff is impacting the market (what little it does now) Indy music could make some big inroads and maybe eventually fix the system.

It's much easier to remain in denial, blame file sharing for all your
problems
and continue to sue your customers.
Sounds like a plan to me!

So, the record companies continue to have reason to get revenue from other
sources such as huge performance fees from broadcast stations and Internet
streamers!

Come on guys!  Reduce your individual song price.  Make your product/price
more competitive (affordable).   It's kinda like cutting taxes makes the
economy grow.
