From: "Dave Ings" 

From the article:

"The crackdown on illegal copying, also known as file-sharing, came as
the research showed a direct correlation between downloading and a fall in
record sales."

Apart from the fact that correlation is not cause and effect, I am partial
to the theory that CD sales are down for two main reasons (1) popular music
is unadventurous (2) DVD sales are up.

(2) is especially noticeable amongst the 20 and 30-somethings where I work.
They are amassing DVD libraries whereas at their age I was amassing a CD
library.
