Not the production cost. Costs a lot to push product through distribution channels are huge: shipping, handling, storage, other inventory costs, not to mention retailer markup. These go "poof" when distribution is via download.How many songs on CD typically? Eight, ten, twelve? Doesn't matter: at $1.00/song/download the profits are relatively outrageous.
