Artists will not be selling a CD with 10 songs on it.

This is what I've mostly been arguing about, and based on what you've said afterwards, I'm guessing that you didn't word this correctly for the point you were making. I gathered from this statement that you thought an artist would release a single album with a greater number of songs just because it was possible.

This is what you said, and this is what I've been arguing about.

And how are my arguments self-serving, exactly?
