It could be true...eventually. No need to spend the money producing physical CDs, jacket covers, jewel cases, not to mention the JOBS cut by digital music. So eventuallllllly it makes sense that record companies will profit big time. |

Let me take a shot at this. It's not foolproof, but it's definitely feasible.
Say the new 50 Cent CD comes out, it's got say 15-20 tracks. Each single track costs $1. You can usually buy the CD from Best Buy for $10 when they're released, no more than $14 aftwerwards. Say you're not really into 50 Cent because his hardcore rap style offends you, but you like the tracks that they're playing on the radio (upwards of 5). Whereas you may not have been willing to shell out for the CD originally, eventually purchasing all of those tracks might happen, yielding the record companies $5. $5 is better than nothing, as you might not have bought anything at all because you find his other stuff offensive. Chances are likely that there are lots of people that would fit into this scenario.
Also, as previously stated, there's also no production cost with digital. |
