Trade in your BMW, get $1000 off on a new Chevy! Bring in a Tag Heuer, get $25 off on a new Casio. This is going to change the world! Can't anyone see the sheer brilliance of it?
Why are they even needed anymore? An artist can get his own studio time, cut his own album, put it online, and enjoy the proceeds, as it should be. There is still a need for marketing; but why not have music marketing firms that handle the promotion without "owning" the artists or their music?
This price-raising on online music makes me spitting mad. I'll stop buying music online and I'll stop buying CDs. PERIOD.
Way to go, record companies. You are your own worst enemy.
