It's not quite that simple - Best Buy and Wal-Mart were using the CDs as
loss leaders.

Second, a CD may physically be cheap to reproduce in mass quantities - under
a dollar, but then there is artwork, cost to actually get the music
recorded/produced/mastered, advertising, videos, concerts, and THE SALARIES
OF PEOPLE WHO WHO WORK AT THE LABEL.

Stop being overly simply. That's just a disingenuous argument.
