Do $0.99 songs deter piracy? Apparently it does.

Some guy named Crupnick agrees with Steve Jobs that low priced songs help fight piracy. This is against what some record companies say that Apple's iTMS's pricing scheme doesn't do anything in fighting against piracy.

Wired magazine even thinks that the $0.99 is overpriced. This is after removing the cost of CD manufacturing, distribution and other expenses. The Long Tail is a very interesting read and would highly suggest it to anyone who is interested about online music distribution and why it makes more sense.
