@SUAD I'm not going to try to condone pirates, because I can't...BUT that doesn't mean they're the ones killing the music industry.
The music industry is killing themselves. Between suing their own bands for connecting with fans by releasing ONE song on the internet to create a buzz for them (which in turn could mean more record sales - which benefits the labels moreso than the band),
Alienating fans with massive lawsuits that are by no means reasonable...1.92 MILLION dollars for what 25 songs? SERIOUSLY!!!! BADDDDD PR Move
And finally, the fact that the music industry could not adapt to the current times, and still can't. The recording industry still thinks it 1990 and has put wayyyy to much into physical sales rather than the digital market. They've started to move over now, but its still hurting them. The fact of the matter is that they're used to charging exorbitant prices and can't fathom the fact that people are sick of it. It's no surprise that iTunes sales plummeted as soon as Apple let the labels charge $1.29 per song. And how many songs or what percentage were therein priced at $0.69? $0.99?
I'm going with:
$1.29: 90%
$0.99: 9.99%
$0.69 0.01%
INSTEAD of keeping a lower price, they went with the higher price so they could go back to gouging customers. They could've kept the price at $0.99 or maybe even move some more to $0.69 and sacrifice a higher profit margin for more sales.
What makes you more profit:
You sell 10 products at $10 a piece
You sell 50 products at $5 a piece
You tell me...
