Re: [microsound] a billion counterfeit CDs

"The IFPI also named its top 10 problem countries where local piracy laws
remain weak and piracy rates high. The list included: China, Brazil,
Mexico, Paraguay, Poland, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand and
Ukraine."																			
Hello? Could this be because in most of these countries, there are a lot
of economically challenged people who can't afford (imported) major label
CD prices?
													
And as usual, "The Industry" needs to wake up and smell the real reasons
as to why they're losing money instead of blaming everyone else for their
own shortcomings.
