It seems that banning things people think everyone should have just makes the demand that much more. Like banning cigarettes in prison, and watching the hard drug smuggling dry up - people start smuggling in tobacco instead. But CDs are much more convenient to have, and if it weren't for the high prices (especially compared to cassettes, which cost more to make, and DVDs, which cost about the same and pack more information), I'd buy more of them. In fact, Walmart is pressing the music industry to lower CD prices so that it can sell them for $10 a pop without losing as much money as they are now.
