So, you think that the record companies, who are already in a frothy panic because they think they're losing all their profits to those "p2p pirates" are going to suddenly become magnanimous and cut you a break by lowering their profit margin?
*chuckle*
Let me guess: you also swallowed that line about how the government will restore those pesky civil liberties you used to have once the War on Terrah is won.

Not a problem. Before I even read the rest of your post it occurred to me that I just form a co-op with about 50 other people of diverse tastes (including their teenaged star-obsessed kids), and we buy music for each other based on who gets the best deal.
Also, I could go out of my way to buy a balanced mix of genres, and then share my personal pricing data with a small group of black teens who happen specialized tastes, and find that they have to pay eight times as much for their favorite songs as I do. Then I can sit back and watch the discrimination lawsuits shred the industry to ribbons.
Pricing tweaked to the customer has not been accomplished in any other industry, what makes your prof so sure they could pull it off?
