This is a stupid act of desparation. I submit that nearly all of the RIAA so-called piracy "problems" would go away if CD's were just US$5.
Their sales would explode.
No incentive to buy the cheap pirated ones.
CD's are cheaper to make than when they were introduced yet they cost the same.
Heck, I'd go out and buy 5 tomorrow. Right now I don't buy any, just once in a blue moon because the whole stinking CD better be friggin great if I'm going to spend $17 for it new.
Screw those market researchers who fixed the price.
