How do you explain the fact that Walmart was paying around $6 for those CDs
that they were selling for $15 and not reducing the price until people
started buying?

What's real is that people aren't buying music. There is no evidence that
this is a question of price. My personal belief is that it's most likely a
question of quality. A lot of people in both the tech sector and the record
business don't want to hear that.
