Which target market is buying all the CDs?
There has been all this talk from people about not buying CDs that is supported by the RIAA.
And yet the RIAA is still making revenue from CD sales.
So which segment of the market is the RIAA getting the money from?
Is it from the tweens market?
Who is going out and buying the CDs?
cd's are aimed at the technologically illiterate.
much harder to find and dl music then it is to just put a cd in the player.

George Bush, Hilary Rosen, and don't forget Osama B
people without computers, a tv, radio or any friends! lol.
all of those who still know nothing about p2p.
and those who didn't and now hear all the talk of the riaa and it's lawsuits and the FBI getting involved, will surely be scared off.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain
Don't forget the people who think file-sharing is wrong. And the ones who want to support the artist person/people (big fat band, little tiny local band, etc).
Now stop being so freaking nice, and buy a stun gun. - Krell

I am a file trader yes.
But i am getting so sick of this anti corporate mentality that you all seem to carry upon your shoulders for all to see very clearly.
They have every right to make money, whether we agree with it or not.
We do not, so we have other methods of obtaining what we want.
But "sticking it" to the big guy attitude all the time, not only makes some people look ignorant, but can also negatively impact industry overall.
Some people may have issues with the automotive, software,PC
industries, would like to see a crusade to bring those down as well?
Yes, the riaa may screw the artist, but the record industry employs more people then you can imagine.

when i realized that i could buy an album on cd for around 15 dollars or the same album on vinyl for 10.. i pretty much stopped altogether. i'll buy cds when it's worth the money and there isn't a vinyl version.
or if you just meant buying MUSIC.. i splurge about 100 dollars a month on music over a lot of mediums. some i've downloaded and listened to before, some not. just if it's worth it, it's available and i can afford it, i'll buy it. downloading music probably only makes me buy more.
hear hear. if you're going to take a free-trade mentality, you take the whole thing, not just the parts you find ethically convenient.Originally posted by Psilaxs

While i am truly against the record industry i think a marketing strategy that would work for them would be to sell their cd's for 5 dollars a piece it would work because people would buy bucket loads of cd's.
Also don't give me that crap that no one makes money at $5 a cd my band sold our cd's for 5 bones a piece and we made a bundle we covered our recording costs in a week
People with more money than sense. Period.
Yea! Especially since it only take a $1.87, to make a freakin' CD.Originally posted by v3rt1go

*What year did Jesus think it was?
*The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life.
*Prefix has no suffix, but suffix has a prefix.
*Santa is satan spelled inside out.
*What clinic did Betty Ford go to?
well, it's actually more than that, once you figure in the cost of your comp... but if buy a spindle pack (50 cd's for $20), then it's possible :-POriginally posted by ATLien

actually to make a cd doesnt really cost much money.
if you buy a spindle of cds *50 pack* for 10 dollars and get a rebate of 10 dollars you pay nothing.
man i had 2 rebates i should of send back for *but i just didnt feel like it*.
but a cd does not cost alot to produce.
maybe 25 cents is all.
the packaging and stuff costs extra.
I mean the artistry of it all is nice too.
i have brought plenty of cds in the past but honestly much of the music i am into now are indie and metal.
so i will support artists who are productive and will buy there cds.
Matter of fact as of late i have come across some good music.
peace*
