It's part greed, but mostly stupidity on the part of the music companies. They have no idea of how a market works. It's music,not bread or butter or eggs.
It's not a necessity. If the price is more than people are willing to pay then people will do without or steal it. I haven't spend $20 total on itunes since it was introduced, but I've spent $20 per month on e-music for years.
Too bad that now none of that will be on Epitaph product.
