NO.

Obviously you shouldn't pay for music you don't like
But that was not your point, you didn't like the way they spend your money right?

Prices go down when more people buy them.

mainstream rap all they do is talk about their personal behavior, thats the whole music, im gonna take the money u paid for my cd, buy some cristal, grope bitches, buy some rims to show off in front of my homeys, and then buy and resell some coke to make even more money... you could like the music, but u can still choose whether to support what hes doing

lol. what country you live in. maybe if you buy 10 CDs at same time u get a discount....

why would they lower prices if everyone's buying?

when everyone buys shares of a company, the prices of a share goes UP

If you have noticed Cd prices have droped from the past prices $19-22(00-01).

Fundacion was $11


If you lower the price, you sell more.

"if you lower the prices you sell more"

because records arent selling that well. if they were selling good would they drop prices for the hell of it, to do the consumer a favor? no.... record sales in general went down, thats why the prices go down.. but never would someone lower prices if he was selling more and more

Your crazy. You think its a favor to lower the prices? Hell no. But it makes the people that are not sure about buying the releases into buying them. There are so many tracks that I could not justify buying them if they are going to cost me $14 but I sure as hell would if they were $8.

Why dont they make vinyl $20 a record then? or $30 a record? Obviously cause less people would buy it, even though they would make more of a profit.

The point he's trying to make is that prices have took a dramatic hit becuase sales are low, in hopes of boosting sales and making it a more attractive purchase.

Simple. You'd rather squander your money elsewhere.
