hopefully, nature will take it's course and the markets and competition 
will drive prices down.

let's not forget, the whole time the RIAA  was sueing  12 year olds over 
downloading mp3z, they(all the members) implemented a "minimum retail 
value" policy. in other words, price fixing. this is why it's so vitally 
important to bust up the current monopolistic power structure of music 
industry and distribute the power among the producers and artists. power 
concentrated in the hands of a few is a bad and dangerous thing.
