Well, I think that you need to sit back and thinkg for a second. The reason prices are so high is co record companies can combat losing money both by piracy of copying CDs as well as file-swaping. I don't know anyone who really can afford to just plop down $20 for just any CD at any given time, but sad fact is most people don't want to perhaps, instead of illegally downloading the music (meaning you didn't pay for it), petition the record companies to lower costs of CDs/cassettes. They can afford it. A CD is much cheaper to manufacture than a cassette, yet always sell for more, which makes them a larger profit. Honestly, I think J-Lo won't miss another $4000 dress that she'll wear just once. Petition the government, record labels, etc. You are the consumer, and the decision lies in your hands. I think that if the music downloading can't be stoped, and frankly it can't be, then all file swaping programs should come with a pay-for-download feature.
