it's actually interesting to read the comments by readers at that link who themselves poke holes in the various flaws in the way that data is presented, and skewed...
people just want to feel good about stealing, so it's just more rationalization... "look the industry is lying to us, why shouldn't we steal music"...
the sources for that data don't actually point to any third party for verification... someone cobbled it together, said here's the source, and didn't provide the source of the source... which is highly suspect (If I'm missing something I apologize and feel free to post those links here).
well, by the end of this month (January 2010) various sources will be releasing 2009 year end numbers...
CDs will be on an even more rapid decline
Digital Albums will still be slowly being adopted
Single Song sales will be increasing
the net effect of the above for bottom line revenue will most like show the recording industry down another 3-5% at least in the USA - and most likely near the same elsewhere as well
I could be wrong we'll see what the reports show for the sales of recorded music.
