CDs Want To Be Free 439
Dotnaught writes: "An article that I wrote about a new music promotion service called fightcloud.com and CD pricing in general has just gone up on Salon. And heeding the advice of Dave Winer, I also posted the full transcript of the interview on my Web log, Lot 49, for those curious about what got left on the cutting room floor." Rather than complaining that Big Recording's CDs are overpriced, it sounds like this company is simply demonstrating that music (even on physical media) just don't have to cost that much.

I'll sum up:
"CDs are too expensive, because recording labels are greedy"
Man, I should be writign for Salon.com

With spelling like that, you should be writing for slashdot.

But the good news is that they are championing the oft-overlooked Christmas music genre. In May, for some reason.

Scalfani sells CDs for free. That is, if you don't count the $4.95 "shipping" charge
So, if I turn up at their offices in person, with a box, these CDs really will be free. As in free.
If I were the word free, I'd be feeling pretty raw and abused these days.
You forgot about the handling. Unless the CDs are handled right...loved and nourished...played with...they just aren't worth it.
You can't put a price on love...well maybe $4.95
