Record Label Thrives Selling CDRs

Posted by michael on from the rip-mix-burn-profit dept.

n3hat writes "'The major music companies may fret over falling revenue, but one label saw its business jump 33 percent last year -- thanks in part to the recordable compact discs that the industry says are hurting its sales. The label, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, is using recordable CD's, or CD-R's, to ensure that each release in its extensive catalog is always available'."

    When do you think that the RIAA is going to clue in that the reason that CD sales have been dropping is because they're producing shit, calling it music and charging 400% markup on it?

    Nahhhhhh. Must be piracy.
