Universal Music To Cut CD Prices

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday September 3, 2003 @10:58AM from the piracy-begone-with-magical-price-cut? dept.

phlack writes "CNN Money has an article about Universal Music Group's plans to slash their CD prices to $12.98 SRP, in an effort to combat piracy and bring consumers back into stores. It makes me hope the other giants will follow suit, and wonder if the music industry is finally listening to some of the consumer's complaints."

September 4, 2003, Debian.org! We are proud to announce that we will now be giving $10 to everybody who downloads Debian Gnu/linux. You see, So much stuff is FREE, that its cut throat with distributsions like Gentoo, Slackware and Mandrake. So if you want to try gnu/linux, we will give you $10! And if you keep the POS on your computer for more than 24 hours, we will give you another $5!
