Why does an LP(album) cost $10 and the same CD (album) costs $15, when

I'm really interested to know how the money from the sale of a CD is
broken up?
Does anyone know, or can someone make an educated guess?
My problem with CDs is exactly the point above, why are they so
expensive then they cost well under $1 to make??
Personally I like to buy CDs when I can, recently I bought a king tubby
CD for 3! I only pay full price for a CD if it's a small label which I
don't mind supporting.
But should anyone downloading RIAA music (which I don't) feel guilty
when most of the lost money is going to middle men and fat cats?
Perhaps rather than trying to catch people downloading they should
re-asses how much money people in the music industry are making, which
might include artists too?
sorry for OT but it really p*ss*s me off when I hear the RIAA
complaining about how much money they're losing >:-|
