I agree with that, if the prices wasnt so high then im sure more people would buy the music rather than downloading. But downloading music is so much easier dont have to waste time going out to a shop you can download it from the convenience of your own home which is probably why most people do it, the only people it hurts though is the companies it doesnt realy effect the artists as the artists dont realy make much from the selling of cd's, they make most of the money from the tours.
But i am all for downloading music for free, although in a way its not realy free is it ? because your still having to pay to download music from the internet, atleast those big media companies dont see any of the money though :p
