With sales continually dropping every year, a price increase is only going to accelerate the slump. People who actually pay for music are going to feel like they are being hung upside down to nickel and dime them. With the state of the economy and the music industry, we should be figuring out how to reward people who are still paying for music. <br />Steve SmithApplied Marketing: Recording Industryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406454407945537987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326212739791314185.post-63765716109553978002009-09-26T15:15:06.483-07:002009-09-26T15:15:06.483-07:00I had read something about this earlier in the wee...I had read something about this earlier in the week. It is something to think about in terms of how it would affect iTunes, as you mention. Overall I would not expect it to hurt them too much. That is dependent on how much the increase is however. If the price is too high, then I could see a somewhat alarming drop to iTunes sales. Either way I do not think that this news helps the illegal downloading situation at all. People that do that to an excess feel that it is there right, and moves like this only increase that point of view for them.<br /><br />-Derek JenkinsApplied Marketing: Recording Industryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14406454407945537987noreply@blogger.com
