CD row solution forces prices up

Just noticed this...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...ic/3416437.stm

Cheers BPI - what better way to discourage people from downloading music from peer to peer networks than forcing the prices of cheap CD's up.

Well done, a master stroke if ever I saw one.

Re: CD row solution forces prices up

mind numbing aint it , and they want to stop piracy , me wonders if it was more a case of retailers complaining about it to the BPI than the BPI jumping in to make them legit

CD-Wow! currently charges £8.99 for a CD in the Top 75 albums chart, but will now have to add a £2 surcharge to any CDs delivered in the UK or Ireland from this Sunday...
Wouldn't this effective "price manipulation" directed at the UK and Ireland break some anti-competition laws somewhere along the way?

Re: CD row solution forces prices up

That is just stupid. Why would it matters where a company is importing from?
