CD sales down again

CD sales are down again this past year, while digital downloads are way up. No surprise right? Actually I have never really understood the whole argument that piracy is the cause of the losses in the music industry. I would love to see a brave label start pricing downloads at 15 cents per track. Even if only as a test. It seems that the cost of a song via download is about what it costs on a CD, even though the shipping, packaging, and CD pressing costs are all eliminated. Why not pass some of that savings to the user instead of paying lawyers to sue your customers.
