Thanks for the reply Yorick, now I have to check how much the Aussie dollar i worth [img]smile.gif[/img]
Oki, 1 Aussie dollar equals 5.58 SKr. That means a CD is hmm... 116 - 167 SKR.
Here the prices range from 139 - 200 SKr roughly. (Depending alot upon the company releasing it and also where you buy it.)
And well of course, the biggest thief is the one that doesn't pay at all Yorick, my poor wording.
I didn't write out all of my train of thought.
Personally I download alot of music, the music I like I buy, cause I guess I am just one of thoose who wants to have the CD in my hand, and I hate irregular ripped MP3's anyway. I want to make my own MP3 rips to listen to on my computer.
During X-mus there was a huge sale on CD's, the CD orices were lowered to 99 Skr for one, 179 for 2 and so on. The increase in sales were drastic
Now this is one thing I like and it showed clearly that the price on the CD's are directly connected to the sales. (Easy marketing really). Also the latest Metallica album had a special little code where you could log ono a website for alot of goodies, came with a DVD and you could download the MP3's from their site and download images and more. Increasing what you got for your money ALOT.
Both are good initiatives and that I think is the best way to battle piracy. Messing with paying customars by introducing and develope CD protections that last for about two days are not the way.
