Music 20 Cents a Track in India

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday April 16, 2002 @03:11AM from the cheap-tunes dept.

xzap writes "Indiatimes.com , an Indian portal is now offering "International Chart-Busting" music for download legally at Rs 10 (20 cents U.S) a song. They say they (through a partner) have tied up with music labels like BMG, EMI, Warner, Tips, Times Music, Lahari, Enrico Hindustan (which is the oldest catalogue of HMV) and Archies Music "." I still believe that if the bigs let us download MP3s for a quarter a track, we'd do it.

No you wouldn't. You will still complain that the record labels are ripping you off. There would still be thousands of rationalizations for pirating music. The problem is not going to be solved by dropping prices or have a per-track fee.
