Music Industry Compared to Movie Industry

Posted by michael on from the crook-vs.-crook dept.

tgibson writes "The Denver Post has an article comparing the missteps of the recording industry to the movie industry's success with DVDs: 'The best-selling "Chicago" movie soundtrack is available on CD starting at $13.86. The actual movie, with the soundtrack songs included, of course, plus additional goodies ranging from deleted musical numbers to the director's interview and a "making-of" feature, can be had for precisely $2.12 more...'"

    Ummmmm....I don't think we have a tax like that in America. That's why prices are so freaking high.

    I think taxing is the answer. In Canada it seems to work quite well.

    Of course I'm not expert, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

    I regularly buy $50-100 a week on DVDs. But most of them are anime, distributed by companies that generally don't support the MPAA or even put Macrovision on their discs.
