Lowering prices will reduce pirating, but will not eliminate it.
The RIAA knows how not to do business. They have their heads so far up their asses, they cannot see daylight.

The RIAA managed to get Napster 1.0 shut down when really what Napster did was increase sales of CDs about 6%. Yes, that's really good for business.

The RIAA raised priced of CDs. CDs used to be about $12.99 normal price and about $9.99 on sale for newly released CDs. People bought CDs under this price structure. Then the RIAA goes and raises prices. Sales drop. Yes, that's really good for business.

So basically, we have the RIAA to blame for the increase in music piracy.
