If economic conditions are poor then the obvious solution for the music industry is to eliminate those high dollar western musicians! They could then hire musicians on-the-cheap from third world countries, repackage them into an image of their choosing (e.g., Appu Timberlaku) and have the CDs manufactured in sweatshops in Freedonia.
