Maybe you should re-read grandparent's post? Surely $US17 is not unreasonably high to buy once in a while to the average income, but it certainly put it in the deliberate rational decision, which actually *does* motivate people to don't buy the CD. By pricing it at $2 they might sell 10 times more CDs thus increasing their net income.

The dollars to hours of entertainment ratio for a $20 CD is close to 0 over its lifetime
Only if you're fish-memoried. Otherwise its entertainment value has diminishing returns with each replay (more so with movies than with music CDs, though) so the cost is not amortized.
