Sell the CDs for less; $17 for a 12 song disc is a steal too.
Good thing I prefer actual music. Oops, I mean "older music".

Sell the prices in the US for the same price sold in China. Then nobody will have the incentive to steal them, I suppose.

And, yeah, most people do know how little the artists get from this "trickle down" theory that Mr. Gabriel mentions. I thought good work was rewarded? (I'm not keen on unions, but like my uncle might say, 'they are a necessary evil'.)
