"Record industry isn't too big a part of the economy. A hit on it doesn't affect us too much, I'd just either go out and spend that tax cut or put it in the bank. Money in the bank produces a lot more money anyway, more money = economy goes up.

At least thats how they teach it in Econ 201. And before you say "inflation" I'll say "stuff it, thats simply not how inflation works."

The problem, as I see it, is that people WERE willing to pay 20 bucks a CD, because they had no alternatives. Now that you can get songs in MP3 format for free, the record industry either has to give you something you can't get off the 'net (special feature CDs, etc) AND make their products acceptably cheap, or die.

Its how capitalism works, you greedy fucks. You got rich by it, and by God you can get poor by it. Deal.

HOORAY!

...anyways. 90+ hours in DC2!
