Its not so much the price as it is the practice of "Suggested Retail" pricing. The Suggested Retail pricing became an obvious act of BS when Dr. Dre's Chronic 2000 album was released at a Suggested Retail of $18 and it wasn't even a double disc.
So, it was Dr. Dre's (or Aftermath/Interscope) greed that caused this thing to occur. So what is the lesson today? Illegally download Dr. Dre's albums because of this and that whole hypocritical use of the THX sound effect.
See what the man did to you? Now your chasing down other peoples' trash to snag some free songs. Its like when a GHB addict goes to Home Depot to sniff some thinner.
So does this mean that the FBI is going to sing some type of helpful rhyme or limric before each song or CD? That would be sweet.
Maybe they can get that "Don't copy that floppy!" guy that did the computer games PSA a while back. That guy can slang some rhymes.
