^ So true Point5, I remember in the late 90s record companies/ record stores were actually raising their prices on CDs to something like $18-20. Totally fucking ridiculous, especially when you only wanted one song on the album and the rest were crap. It was pure greed.
What I find so funny about this is that you hear big corporations make the argument all the time about globalisation and outsourcing - "well, you can't hold back progress." Now you see that there is a flip side to capitalism, which is that when technological progress hurts the big companies, suddenly they want to try to stuff the genie back into the bottle, but they can't do it.
