No Rock And Roll Fun

YOU CAN PROVE ANYTHING WITH FACTS: According to the RIAA:

If CD prices followed the current inflation period, the average retail price of a CD would be $38.23 instead of about $14.00.

You'll note they don't say where they're starting the "current period" from - when CDs were just introduced, and a luxury item selling to a very small market? Or slightly later on, when - as the record companies themselves accepted - the price was being artifically inflated by the music business cartel? When will the RIAA stop trying to take the credit for the drop in CD prices which have been forced on them by courts and the marketplace?
