That is a fair point. More and more people are illegally downloading these days, and these artists do need to recoup those losses, so it's understandable for them to raise the ticket prices. That's not to say it's the real reason, though.

If the record companies want people to buy albums, actually release an album worth buying. Enough with the filler shit, enough with albums with 10 songs with a running time of less than 40 minutes. I want my monies worth.

Lower the prices - I think it's mainly the record company after the money, not the artist themselves. I'll always buy an album if my fave band, but if it's a regular album by someone whose songs I don't mind, I'll download.

We are not living in the '90s anymore. This is 2010. If the music industry embraced file sharing and the digital evolution of music, they wouldn't be so ****ed royally right now. And ticket prices wouldn't have suffered.

Ehhh, I dno. Remember the early 2000's where boybands would release cds that would sell 2 million in the first week? I don't think quality equals quantity in this case. There's always been crappy music that sells, good music that doesn't, and vice versa.

Mhm... Napster was a test for the industry and they failed -- through their own greed and desire for absolute control. I find it hard to muster much sympathy.
