One question for those in here....

I apologise if it seems to be a long winded one, but it needs asking

A customer downloads a song by an artist... say Metallica - Enter Sandman to see if it is the song he wants...
He burns it to CD, at a media cost of 16-20p, he is happy
He is also infringing the law...

A Record company puts out a new CD Single.

Unit production cost for the single is less than a penny per, yet they sell it for £4.00

that's a 4,000% markup...

when you look at things in the way of markups everyone needs to make a profit..... but 4,000%?

the biggest case of robbery is done by the BPI, yet they do it within the law
