Jeremy:
“But look at music – despite the small size of the files and ease of piracy, cd sales completely dominate the charts. Sure, they are down, but downloads are almost neglible as a percentage.”
Are you crazy??? Have you really looked at the numbers in the music industry? I used to work in that industry and still know people in the highest levels and believe me they are singing a much different tune, pardon the pun. Why do you think Jay Z just left as the head of Def Jam to go full time into the hotel business. And although download sales are up a bit, the industry is in decline over all.
You should do much more research before making statements like that:
