That's great you like MP3's and all, but you forget that old records are a supply and demand. Of course a person selling a record that is no longer pressed, is going to ask more than the suggested retail price for a record. The thing I don't understand is how you can say the whole scene is f*cked up. And you're right when you say an artist will never see the extra money someone gets when they sell a record. But they did see money when they sold the record for the first time. That same artist never saw
any money if you just downloaded that song off of Soul Seek without buying
it in the first place. I'm not trying to start an argument here, but
supply and demand is always going to happen with ANY item when someone
sells something that is no longer being made.
