Then those were overpriced too... Production costs, if anything, have most likely gone down since then anyway.

Even though I disapprove of the way the RIAA handles many issues, I still obey the law. I don't use P2P networks to pirate music or applications. In fact, I've never even installed a P2P client on any of my computers.

I agree, it's more of an excuse that people use for stealing music than a reason that they do.
