It depends on what the studio time cost,the production cost were,the union cost,the promo cost,disturb cost,the lawyers fees,the royalty fees and the deal that was set up in the beginning.Not many people understand what it really cost to put out a record on the national/international level.A production cost alone could be half a million dollars.

Yeah ,most of what is produced is thus expensive crap.

So what if I record music into my computer from any of the numerous fine FM radio broadcasters using the common FM tuner card?Why is that fundamentally different from tape recording the song from the radio's earphone jack?Or are you going to tell me that is somehow stealing?
