I’ve read a few posts about why the rate is set as it is. DVD boxset’s have set a rate that lot’s of people have deemed affordable and hence that’s been transferred to digital downloads. Don’t know if that’s true or not but it’s a valid point. However many that want digital downloads have been doing it for years for free. How many will gladly pay to stay legal when in many ways it’s now easier to download for free than ever before?

How many will pay to download when more and more people are downloading for free? A couple of years ago I know some people who had ‘The FEAR’ about downloading and getting prosecuted. Those fears seem to be disappearing fast.
