OT: Recording Industry Ripoff

[Baron Munchausen]

Yeah, and what else is new? Corporations learned a long time ago that the best way to make profits is to make the product scarce and then extort the highest possible price from people. The 'Oil Industry' has been shutting down refineries for decades. They haven't built a new one since the 1970s as I recall? Every time some 'accident' closes one of the remaining refineries down for a while, they get to charge huge markups because of the 'tight supply'.

This is just the music industry trying to do the same old thing a bit prematurely. They must think that most people are 'intimidated' enough to have given up on piracy.
