Story: Amazon.com implicated in CD-import row
Posted by: Roger the Lodger (Wednesday 21 January 2004, 12:10 PM)
If an artist sells a million albums worldwide does it matter which country the cds were sold in? Not really, Apart from the fact that record labels may miss the oportunity rip the Great British public off once again.
If the record labels can't manage to appropriately divide their global profits between their various international divisions then thats their problem.
If a label pays an artist a stupidly large sum of cash ( eg Robbie Williams) why should every other artists cd's be bumped up in price to compensate? I can't stand Robbie Williams so why should i have to subsidise the cost of his music for his fans?
If the label can't cover its costs for a particular artist then they are paying them too much!
