Actually, the behaviour of the industry has not changed at all. What has changed is the public awareness and voice. The industry is responsible for adding tax to audio capable recording media.... even if used for other purposes. Why do people forget about this?
By the way, if you want to really show a true difference in revenue... I still like to tout this idea as (IMHO) it is a more honest analysis. Compare the recorded bit-rate of the audio for CD (1400+/-) and valuate that against the price ratio of what is being sold (128 - 192).
Why is this an important aspect? you have to remember that there is a difference is price point for various hard media. We do not pay the same for audio cassettes as we do for CDs. Why is this? I remember the days past when it was explained that the Audio CD provided for a better and more accurate listening experience. You also have to factor in, as was stated... the cost of resources and delivery. It was always said that cassette manufacturing was less costly then CDs. But I have always doubted this... especially today.
In the end, the truth is that the industry is as bad as the other two aforementioned. I would love to see all 3 abolished (yes I would give up smoking... for that...)
sorry... just a topic that I am very passionate about.
