A newly released music CD or album consisting of 11 songs costs about $11.99 on average, about $1 on each song. Is that too much to pay for a song? Not every song in an album is very good compared to others, but all the songs cost the same. The average price of an album on iTunes (www.itunes.com) is $11.99. For some people, this may not be a very pricey thing. But, for many people around the world, especially people not living in the USA or Europe region, this is not cheap. It is very hard to buy albums for their cost, as a result of which people now download pirated songs from many sites on the internet. The artist or the band do not receive any payment for the download and this is strictly illegal. But, 1 USD is about 50 Indian Rupees. So, if an album costs about $12, then it costs about 600 Rupees. That's a lot to pay for a album!
