| 174172 | 2003-09-09 14:30:00 | Heard this on the US news tonight and found this (newsobserver.com) story on the subject in case anyones interested. | Craigb (688) | ||
| 174173 | 2003-09-09 19:48:00 | Interesting. That article doesn't seem quite serious, though, is that a fair dinkum newspaper? Don't normally see people quoted as saying "dadgum". I think the recording industry is trying to stop the haemorraging. I would love to know how CD sales are tracking over recent years. robo. |

| 174174 | 2003-09-09 20:17:00 | The Recording Industry won't beable to stop it by targeting individuals. Sure, by threatening to "sue" they might frighten off a certain percentage. The only way is to target the likes of WinMX, Kazaa - like they did with the late, great Audiogalaxy | Holy Cow (4475) | ||
| 174175 | 2003-09-09 20:21:00 | Read the other day CD sales are down 28% over the last three years in the States. They are also talking of dropping the price of CD's by12% to encourage sales. | Tony S. (450) | ||

If they can get most CD's down to $20 in price, I'd certainly consider more puchasing of CD's. If Singles weren't still round the $7-8 mark, maybe half that.. then I'd be keen to buy Singles too... But it so darn espensive, itd even be worth recording from the Radio! |

| 174177 | 2003-09-10 00:51:00 | I purchase CDs that are worth purchasing, I don't mind $20-60 a CD or 2CDs, but they have to be worth it. This percentage drop can not all be totally related to downloading, I know some bands who I use to like, decided to go mellow and that made me to decide they've lost it, and a lot of people would feel the same. They can blame whatever they like, but they never blame the band. It's never their fault, they are just the same to their fans? Yea right, they want to tone down their music, they can just shove off... move over for someone who's willing to show anger/frustration. By the way, I like heavy metal music. |

| 174178 | 2003-09-10 01:04:00 | i read on the net a while back that you can buy (in the states) DVD's cheaper (or at same price) than music CD's. about time they started dropping the price of cd's. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 174179 | 2003-09-10 04:20:00 | Reality is that we are way overcharged for CDs and DVDs, which are cheaper to manufacture than audio and video cassettes but we get stung because of perceived value. I sit and look at the whacking big pile of music CDs and DVDs and wonder why I buy them. I haven't bought a music CD for myself in probably ten years and still have too many. I reckon some Cds wouldn't have been played more than two or three times. And then there are the ones my wife plays (like Cat Stevens, the Righteous Brothers, and other crimes against music). Sheesh. Burn the CD player! robo. |

Can you still buy them? I recently saw them for .99c at one of the Auckland Wharehouses. Think they were the kind of music that Robo's wife would enjoy haaaaa! |
