Boston Globe: Poor CD sales blamed on Napster

Published by Colin on 27th February 2001.

The recording industry is blaming Napster for poor CD sales. How about blaming it on incredibly high retail prices? That’s the reason I don’t contribute to CD sales, not because of my very occasional Napster use. 20 Euros is way over the top. If they reduced the price by half, I’d have quite a collection by now, they should do the math but they’re probably too busy lamenting the rise of file-swapping services.
