| The reality
Is that records are just promotional items now.
With the piracy that goes on record sales have tanked.
Artists make thier money touring and with merchandise.
Watch the record industry sign future artists and demand a piece of the touring action |

Watch the record industry sign future artists and demand a piece of the touring action Although I am sure piracy has impacted sales, I think it is a minor player. Lets put it this way, a CD costs $10-20, on average. Now with that CD I get maybe an hour of music.
Or I could spend $15 and get a DVD with a 2 hour movie loaded with hours of bonus features.
Or I could cough up a bit more money and get a video game that will give me endless hours of entertainment.
For the price vs entertainment ratio, CDs are the losers. |

said by elwoodblues :Is that records are just promotional items now. CDs have ALWAYS been promotional items... for the artists. The recording companies take such a huge cut of CD sales... bah, don't get me started... and the recording companies already get a substantial cut of tours in that the bands owe so much to the companies that it takes a tour or 3 to get them into the clear.
