That's true but you are missing my point. People here have stated :
"Guess I've never seen much use for pre-recorded MDs."
But there were records around. All they had to do was buy the record which
was cheaper than the prerecorded tape to begin with and make a copy of the
record. This is exactly the analogy that you are making between the CD and
the prerecorded tape.
Blank tapes were getting cheaper all of the time, while the cost of
prerecorded tapes remained high. So your statement about CDs really doesn't
explain the situation.
