Since when are record sales up? There has been a steady decline over the past few years. What is this being blamed on? DOWNLOADING. Seriously. I used to buy atleast 1 CD a week (I have a colection close to 1000) when I didn't own a computer. Since I bought a computer and I am able to download, I buy a CD maybe once every 6 months ( and it's usually when I'm travelling and it's something local).
Arni Well, then you are one of the minority of people that simply refuses to pay good money for good things, if they can possibly be gotten free. I have downloaded thousands of movies and CD's in my life, but I also have hundreds of legally bought full-priced (over-priced) movies and CD's as well. The good stuff I buy, the crap, I throw away. Most downloaders do the very same.
And talk to record executives around the world. Music sales are up in 2007, after several years of shit music being released.
