Question why are CD's priced so high?

I just wanted to bring up some other issues/thoughts. Why are CD's priced so high? Its outrageous! The consumer is getting robbed blind, and nobody seems to care. Have been for years.

Think about cassette tapes. You can get music on cassette cheap these days. $6? $7? pretty darn cheap compared to CD's.

A CD new is anywhere from $13 to $20 or more, depending on where you buy them. This is crazy. I understood CDs being priced higher when the technology was new, but its NOT new anymore. they have been around a long time now.

A new CD should cost NO MORE than $10. tax included.

I know lots of work goes into making the music on a CD. Lots of people have to get paid.

But still, the prices are too high. their is a difference between making a profit and making a killing!

perhaps if the artists want to insure that more people buy their music and THEY, the artist gets paid, they should lower the CD prices!

How many times have you paid $15 for that cd you wanted and only ONE song is good, the rest suck?

my .02 worth.
