RE: Food for thought

I understand. As you undoubtedly know, the economic term is price discrimination. For a few years I was responsible for a line of computer peripherals that interconnected mini computers to phone lines. We took one product and through a minor configuration change turned it into two products with almost a 2x price difference. That way we could sell a cheap large version to universities and an expensive small version to Ma Bell. That way I could keep the people who were marketing to universities and the people marketing to the phone company both happy with a "reasonable price". I thought this was a great idea, after all it paid my salary. :=)

Blue Coast Records has a huge price premium on their DSD files, but for the past year they have been putting all formats on a single low introductory price for a few weeks. Eclassical.com does something similar with their new releases and there is only a small premium on their "daily specials".
