My personal opinion is that the industry needs to reform their entire pricing structure. Gone are the days people feel 'britney spears et al' require private jets and 50 bedroom mansions. Hows about we work out the price of a CD for everyone involved in the creation of each disk to earn a maximum of a £50,000 salary. Bets on CDs hitting a few pounds (or less) and piracy dropping to 'almost nothing'. Sadly there will still be some piracy. Same theory for games and movies. If the people involved only earned 'regular' salaries the costs of each disk would be much more reasonable. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Wed 2010-04-07 20:00 http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2645413 Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
