Did you know the law in the U.S. was changed many decades ago to give corporations "rights", the same as people (individuals)?Some people seem to believe that that cartels and monopolies are the 'natural order of things'. Others seem not even to recognize that such entities exist, and that they often work against the best interests of thier 'customers'.
A conspiracy? It depends what you mean by the word. In the case of the music industry, that a de-facto cartel rigged the market and 'conspired' to inflate prices for years in the case of the CD is simply a matter of historical fact.
As for people clamouring for more CD's, I've already commented on the effectiveness of marketing in our time.
How do you think the recent U.S-led invasion of the Middle East was 'sold' to the great unwashed?
