GristyMcFisty lets us know that the Billboard.com
website has posted a interesting poll.
More than 9,000 people voted that 99 cents to download one song from the
Internet is simply too much money:
Of 9,034 voters, 61% said that the base price at such online outlets as Apple's iTunes is too expensive for them. The largest group, 32%, said 99 cents was simply too much for just one song. Another 29% preferred a less legal approach, agreeing with the statement "Why pay for it when I can download it elsewhere online for free?" On the other hand, of the 39% who are in favor of the sub-$ 1 price structure, 22% felt 99 cents was OK if the quality and selection of the service offering the tracks is good. An additional 17% considered the cost a fair amount, "based on what you have to pay for an album." |
What do you think would be a good price to download legal music
off the Internet? Is 99 cents indeed too much or does it depend on the offered
download quality? Please react below!
