I'm continually puzzled why CDs, an old technology that has long since paid for itself, and cost maybe $1 a piece to produce, continue to (at least) stay as expensive as they've always been, or if anything are just getting more and more expensive. DVDs, and even Blu-ray BDs, have as a group dropped in price -- why not CDs?

Is it something to do with licensing contracts that were signed back in the day when these things were all new and shiny?
