Considering that he has not college background. Which gives US$ 2666,00. This person can buy a cd ( let's suppose that he pays US$ 12 for a decent cd ). Thus:
One average american could buy aprox. 222 cds per month. He would not have to import cds see it.
A person in Brazil with a degree from a good University like USP would make like ( at best of course ) US$ 15000 per year, or US$ 1215 per month.
Brazilian cds cost from US$ 11 to US$ 18,75 which takes us to 64,80 cds/month. if one wants to get good cds, one will need to import and pay from US$ 20 to US$ 30 . Hardly, not often RIO, technical metal, technical death metal bands have their albuns released in Brazil. I am not counting suriving costs like rent, food, healthy and education of course, this is a rather simple comparison.
Once you see an artist complaining that someone in Brazil downloaded mp3s ( I am not saying I download you know, I am just analysing a situation ) and this artist feels offended you can see that he has a narrow-minded view of reality. Once you see kids in USA that can buy 10 or 15 cds /month you certainly feel rather depressed. At least I do.
