even though I think I'm paying too much to the wrong people. There's no doubt about that if you buy CDs at major chain stores. I avoid them like the plague. It costs less than US$2.00 to make a CD (and that's an old figure) yet they sell them for US$15.99. I know the artist(s) aren't getting

I remember Garth Brooks tried unsuccessfully to block stores from selling used copies of his CD's, using similar arguments as presented in the MP3 debates. Yeah, I was waiting for this. Was this campaign only one artist ? Wasnt there a slogan ? Like "copy kills music" now, against CD
