| I hope he realizes that a ton of people still buy CDs. In fact, CD sales are pretty high right now.
The fact is, most people that download CDs wouldn't of boughten the CD anyway. For example; Someone tell me to listen to Band X. I've never heard of them, and without being able to download MP3s, I would have to take a chance by spending 15+ on the CD. But with the wonderful world of the internet, I can download it. If I like it, I'll likely pick it up next time I get the cash or next time I'm at a record store, and will most likely buy whatever other CDs that I didn't download of theirs, as well as all the new releases as they came out. If I don't like it? Big deal, I won't bother with any of the other music. |
