Record Industry Assoc. of America.
They are the big man behind all of your CDs. They take most of the profits from any CD or album, and give the artist about one dollar, while they take everything else. In the production of CDs, the most expensive item is in fact the little 'booklet', the rest of it is just ludicrously cheap. The CD itself costs around 50 cents, the case about 10 cents, the booklet around 1 dollar, and that's pretty much it. About 1 dollar goes to the artist, and the rest goes to the RIAA.
Screw the RIAA.
I'm not purchasing another CD until they quit treating people like crap.
