The music industry really should know better.
IMHO MP3s are popular because
a) music quality has been on a freefall for a while now
(how many CDs will you confidently buy for the full price?)
b) CDs are seriously overpriced
(nowadays they don't even do enough marketing to make the price seem
justified from their POV)
c) the industry is unwilling to release everything everywhere (notice they
could've made money), making people turn to MP3s instead of paying for
imports.
but hey, such is life... I guess? Another reason to make more money... :)
