I wonder when they'll figure this out? I mean, look what's happening in the movie industry. I don't doubt that there are problems with piracy and bootlegs, and I'm also sure that we're going to be able to make more and better copies of DVDs as technology catches up. However, the movie industry has proven that people are very happy to pay $10 to $15 for a DVD or even $20 if it's a hot release, and of course more for multi-disc sets. In fact some people have argued that it's these DVD purchases, and not Napster and its ilk, that have driven consumer spending away from CDs.
