According to this link Andrew sent me a few minutes ago, 2007’s physical album sales saw a 9.5% decrease over 2006 figures, while online sales increased by 45%.
Steve: People want digital files.
Andrew: indeed
Steve: I love demonstrably false statements like this.
The recording industry has experienced declines in CD album sales for years, in part because of the rise of online file-sharing, but also because consumers have spent more of their leisure dollars on other entertainment, like DVDs and video games.
Steve: Bullshit! CD sales were constantly increasing when music sharing was at it’s highest, you hack writer!
Andrew: that does seem extraordinarily lazy, doesn’t it?
ILLEGAL music sharing, no lessSteve: Worse, it’s likely outright bullshit, a lie written to make things sound more dramatic.
