So that's why CD's sold ONLY on the net are often cheaper. That doesn't mean they can sell them for the same price in the store because that includes more costs
what more costs ?
if it is been sold on the internet, the internet site sill adds there profit onto it. so that is like the store-profit. The artist still need to do promo's otherwise no one would know about the cd. there are also things like the running of the site cost that need to be added.
