Zeev, If it cost you $2.50 a piece to press the CD's then it is clear that $6.00 per copy may be what is needed to break even, but this is a ridiculous example. If the recording industry can make a master recording, digitalize it in a downloadable (protected or unprotected) format and employ both Internet and traditional vehicles for popularizing/marketing their bands their costs will fall dramatically. The problem is that the record companies have totally alienated the consumer at this point by villainizing them. There have to be other viable business models. Just ask Stephen King how much he made on his last novella. He wrote it on his laptop while recovering from his car accident, formatted the whole 60 pages in Adobe Acrobat *.PDF format and then charged $2.00 a download. He sold 400,000 copies on the first day alone. You do the math. Not bad work, if you can get it. Ausdauer
