Slashdot Mirror
Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive
Reverberant writes "Just as the online music market is starting to gain traction, what to music execs want to do? Why, raise prices, of course! Under consideration is raising the price of online singles up to $1.25 to $2.49, or bundling less desirable tracks with hot singles."
Who'd have thought, considering they have to pay for advertising, marketing, distribution, renting the studios, etc.
But on Slashdot, it's bad to raise prices because we'd all rather music be completely FREE.
The point you missed is that companies want to make money, and if they feel they can raise prices in order to raise income over expenses, they'll do it.
Have you ever run a business?
We will defeat these infidels, yet!
Though technically it's not "censorship", as the comments are never outright blocked or removed. But most people don't read with a low threshold, so they miss out on all the great nigger jokes.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nigger!
...you control the MPAA!
Last I checked, Outkast wasn't having trouble paying their bills.
Well last I heard from Slashdot, artists were supposed to be getting ripped off or something and not getting paid. Are you telling me that's not true?
