The reason the gouging continues is that consumers are willing to pay those prices. In a sense it's the consumer who indirectly sets the market price.
12 bucks for a CD? I think i'll wait for the greatist hits disc when it comes out, or wait until the artist's discs hits the discount rack. I love music, but not at the regular prices.

Other things that cost 12 bucks:
- 2 beers at the bar
- A meal at a place like Earls (actually much more than 12 bucks)
- Tickets to the movies
All things you enjoy once and that's it. They are gone. A music CD is something you can listen to as often as you want, as many times as you want. I just don't see why 12 bucks for something like that is gouging at all.
