Piracy
'They'still haven't figured it out!! Make the product a fair price and people will happily pay for it. With a blank CD at 50 cents, who will pay $20 from a shop for an 'Imported'music CD? PERCEIVED VALUE is the key. At $5 nobody would put in the time and effort to rip a CD. The people have spoken - "Your product is TOO dear"
