Umm, a computer capable of copying a CD, encoding mp3s from a redbook 
audio CD, or downloading CDs from the internet could be purchased for 
$20 these days.  So I guess that means they could afford to buy one or 
two CDs instead of being able to obtain a lot of mp3s.  Of course, they 
may have to pay at least $10 a month for a dialup connection, unless 
they invest $100 in an old laptop and wifi card instead, and use free 
hotspots throughout cities.  So, your claim that "people who are 
technologically equipped to copy it, (hence...afford it)" is not bourn 
out by fact.  Besides, it all depends on how much music they want.  If 
someone wants to own 10,000 albums, that person would need a pretty 
good paying job to obtain them in an expedient manner via retail 
sources.
