Study: Falling CD Sales Can't be Blamed on P2P
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 AM
"The Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said Monday that digital music piracy is a problem, but other factors--such as the rise in the number of entertainment sources--are more likely to have had a significant impact on music sales. "It is very difficult to establish a basis to prove a causal relationship between the size of the drop in music sales and the rise of file sharing. Sales of CDs, as well as the success of licensed online music services are likely to have been affected to some degree by a variety of other factors, for example physical piracy and CD burning, competition from other, newer entertainment products and faltering consumer spending in some markets," the report said."
Personally the reason I think sales are down is that all new music is horrible. Can't anyone come of with an original idea anymore? Where have the Prince's, Velvet Underground's, Roxy Music's and even Madonna's gone?
