Wow, you've really hit the nail on the head. Thank you for addressing the whole CD prices issue. Because I have no problem going into Best Buy, or online and finding a CD for 12.99 or 13.99 (or less). The highest priced CD I've ever seen was for 26.99 and it was some fancy, hard-to-find import. You're right...most CD's aren't that expensive.
And you're also right when you say that Albums are luxary items...people have no "right" to them. If the public had complete rights to music for free, then there would be no such thing as Copyrights. I mean, what the hell do people think Copyrights are for? They're so artists can exploit (make money off of) their intellectual property.

Anyway, I completely agree with you.
