States Accuse Record Labels of Price Fixing – So the record labels, in their haste to sue everyone and anyone that poses a threat to their profits, have now been sued. Twenty-eight states filed suit against the “big five”, accusing them of fixing prices of compact discs… hmmm… think so? The damn things cost pennies to make, the artists get next to nothing, and we still pay $15 and up… When vinyl went the way of the dodo, it was supposed to be a good thing – CD’s cost much less than records to make, but yet the prices continued to climb. It’s time to put these SOB’s in their place!
