It has been said "Great minds may not think alike, but they abserve the same facts". Glad we see more things alike than not. My only thoughts as far as the CD issue is that the technology there is pretty solid. It has not really changed much in 15 years, and what you see is what you get. I do not see the technology behind music changing any time soon either.

Sure, it takes a lot of money to develop a CD. I would like to see two tiered pricing. Sell your CD for 15 dollars up to a point where the industry breaks even on costs and then up to a firm percentage point of profits. Once the profit point is reached, sell the CD at a lower price, say half. Profit is still being generated and the People gets a break. It would go a long way towards PR for the industry also, make us think they actually care (of course they do not....they do not even pay their music celebrites fairly, and MOST do not even have the rights to their on songs, because they sold their souls to the music industry).

Great Debate Lee, you stimulate thinking and I enjoyed your comments greatly. Hope my posts can inspire as much as yours.
