Just like the RIAA and the rest of you, you just do not understand.. Trying to desperately keep people purchasing an overpriced and out-dated medium like CD's is a lost cause.. Contrary to what "you" believe, that people are downloading music to "steal" from your pathetic little store, the real reason is that CD's are just old news.. How do you think the sales figures on VCR's, or even home CD players;-), are today? In one word, DECLINING!! Why? Of course, technological progression.. even DVD players in today's market place are becoming ubiquitous. If the RIAA and the record companies had actually realized that in order to charge $15-$20 for an album that contains at the most 2-3 good songs and another 10-15 "filler" songs, you have to provide additional value. IMO, it's too late now. If they would have had half a brain and started selling DVD-Audio discs a year or two ago instead, then the damage would have been a lot less severe to the music industry.
It's absolutely pathetic that you think you can blame downloading for you diminishing sales. Get a grip, start selling something really sells today and your store would be back in biz; pornographic DVD's.. They would look absolutely fabulous next to your Christian rock section..
