Unofficial "We Refuse to Spend $3 On One Song" Thread

[vedis]

What I'm trying to tell you is, if songs move at $3, you may end up paying $3 for all.

i think when people start giving numbers of their sales out(you know some will) you will see a trend on what will sell for what

but i will say

as long as a 3 dollar song sells 66% as well as a 2 dollar song would have, and 22% as well as a 1 dollar song, there is no reason to not charge that if you are after money. anything less is a loss.

hopefuly what youll see is them testing out how 2 dollar songs sell too, but you cant force them to do so.

either buy it or dont, its the way things are, but dont knock people for not making the same choice you do like they are in the wrong, we have just as much right ti pay 3 dollars as you do to not

If you're only buying popular catalog material from uber-established artists from major labels, that's probably true. Buy indie. Problem solved.

And if you don't like indie then nuts to ya, amrite?

So when you talk about this "smart label"... are you talking about the labels that sued 6 year olds for downloading a couple songs illegally?

If the labels are anything, it's greedy to no end. They don't need to be "smart", they're in power and no one is going to do a damn thing to stop it.

That's been proven.

Nice strawman.

thats your right

no ones forcing you to like anything, or buy anything

its all optional

i think some people are starting to feel a sense of entitlement here

Nice strawman.

How do you figure? I'm showing how the labels act and therefore how they will likely act.

I'm going to knock anyone that's going to encourage something negative that will affect me.

Entitlement? LMAO!

Entitlement to have reasonable prices on something? okay bud.

"How do you figure? I'm showing how the labels act and therefore how they will likely act. "

Because ever label acts the same exact way and has the same buisness plan.

exactly

jawillroy is imo an awesome indie artist

may not be my style of music so i didnt purchase it, but then again, thats my choice isnt it everyone has one

"How do you figure? I'm showing how the labels act and therefore how they will likely act. "

Because ever label acts the same exact way and has the same buisness plan.

"The RIAA represents over 1,600 member labels, which are private corporate entities such as record labels and distributors, and which collectively create and distribute about 90% of recorded music sold in the United States."


So yes, any member of that [which obviously permits suing 6 year olds] would fit into what I'm talking about.

excuse me, where's the unofficial "we refuse to sell the music that took hundreds of hours to create for $1" thread?
