You are
a rare breed of a bygone age. The college market, for example, a
prior mainstay of music sales, is largely gone. At most campus dorms you
can get any current album burned by a fellow student for $1.00 plus media.
And this is what they do. Why? Well, the money, bolstered by the fact that
college campuses are infected by a "nothing is ever really wrong" moral
relativism where only a fool would pay an extra $10 for the real thing.
Really? Where do you get these statistics? Most things I have read
contradict what you are saying and reinforce the "most people sample then buy"
assumption. If you have a source for these numbers I would be quite
interested to read it.
