What's the site for overpricing CDs? - Video Games Forum

You go there and sign up and if they win a law suit you get like 20 bucks. But if too many people sign up, you'll get less than 20 bucks.

Yesterday I paid ****ing 41 dollars for two goddamn CDs and even though the CDs rock the llama's ass and bitch slap any other CD I've ever bought, that's still a lot of money for two CDs.

Anyone know this site?

Ticket Master are the largest Concert Ticket Scalpers in the world.... The bad thing is, their scalping is legal. Although some bands like Incubus MAKE Ticket Master sell their concert tickets for like 10-20 dollars. TM overcharges you so ****ing much on tickets...

That's just great and all and I'm so proud of you, but this topic is about CDs and a site that deals with a lawsuit about CDs being overpriced.

That lawsuit is so ****ing stupid. CDs are not a necesity. They can charge whatever they **** they want for them, you don't have to buy them. They'd be a lot cheaper if people didn't bootleg all the songs on the intrenet. It's not your ****ing music and you don't have any goddamned right to it at a cheap price. CDs are only 20 bucks a pop if you go to a specialty store like Virgin or FYE anyway, you can get the same CDs for 10-15 bucks at Walmart.

Your a moron if you shop at Walmart anyways...dont take it personally. No i dont think they can charge whatever they want, thats extorsion. You know how much it actually ****ing costs them to make the CD? 1 Cent for the CD, 2 Cents for the plastic case, and 2 cents for the paper.....lets seee thats a total of 5 cents!!!!! And what do they charge??? 20 + dollars!!! thats ****ing extorsion...
