I was refering to the people that just download everything (because they can).
So i'm not realy sure they would go out and hunt for pearls in a record shop anyway.
In any case the whole media consumption pattern has changed dramatically over the last decade.
Nothing is the same anymore.
The games industry has become the biggest entertainment industry for one, beating both movies and music.
Which means people are spending their moneys elsewhere.
That may be either a cause for the drop in sales of music, or it might be a reaction to the fact that people have money left from not buying music anymore, i'm not sure yet, propably a bit of both.
