UMG To Price New CDs Under $10
marmoset writes "Perhaps a decade late, Universal Music Group has decided to try out sub-$10 CD pricing in the US. 'Beginning in the second quarter and continuing through most of the year, the company's Velocity program will test lower CD prices. Single CDs will have the suggested list prices of $10, $9, $8, $7 and $6.'" CD retailers are not convinced the price cuts will work out. For one thing it depends on whether other major labels follow suit, but the article notes that "executives at the other majors were nervous about the UMG move" and "privately, some appeared annoyed."
That's what you get for using Windows, seriously, settling for a lesser quality product because the OS you use on your computer is exploitable by just about any idiot out there is stupid.
Sure, Sony was in the wrong, but condemning a whole industry because one label was insidious enough to root people's (Windows based) computers is over reacting.
