Letter: Cheaper CDs
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JOHN COX (Letters, 3 January) accuses Gerald Kaufman of talking through his hat when he states that it is cheaper to import CDs from the United States than to buy them domestically. Far from CDs costing 'typically dollars 16.98' in the US, most retail for dollars 11 to dollars 13 with new releases often discounted by dollars 1. It is not uncommon for UK-produced CDs to be available in the US for less than the domestic UK price.
