...Which is why the music industry needs to die now. Consider that a musician - if they're VERY lucky gets about 7p per track. That track is sold for 79p or something. That 72p the industry takes steals a massive increase in sales from the creator if they are lucky enough not to have been robbed of their rights anyway.The musicians generally enter into these contracts willingly.
Naively tho..
But its like milk - the prices paid to the consumer are below cost, all the other real production costs involved have dropped and yet the price has risen. The only people who benefit are the business cartel and their political lobby.Lots of people want music contracts badly, so they will drive down prices.
