Well, RIAA studies said the opposite...
this just confirms they lie

riaa studies are like when medication companies do their own studies, the immediately scream of bias. The simple fact is the music industry is in trouble, its a business and no longer a domain for artists

Neither study is completely right. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

if noone wanted to pay for music why is i-tunes so successful..the simple facts are this. the actual cost of a cd just to record the songs and put them on acd media is 4$ american.....the average american cd is 20 buck!@
we r being ripped off and lately the contents that come with the cd r minimal....no no photots no lyric sheets no multimedia content.
if they record industry want to recover new artists should not have debut cd’s priced at 20$. the darkeness have had there cd here out for 3 months and its priced at 9.99 almost everywhwere and its selling liek mad. peopel whill not pay 20 dollars for a cd that they will likely not enjoy most of cause labels are just looking to put out an album with one or 2 radio hits and jhust filler songs on the album.

People (more specifically kids) have more options these days. Now like every kid has a cell phone, Playstation 2, stuff like that. Even if they wanted to buy a CD they don’t have the money that they once did. But I agree with Coyboy, if a CD is $9.99 I’d be more likely to buy it than if it was $20.
In Canada at least Universal Music has a policy in which all new release CD’s will be price at $14.99. That’s still seems a bit pricy though.

we needed a study to tell us this?
