Because years a go they would have NEVER even considered p2p as a way to find out what is popular....but tome, they are hypocrytical about it. As these networks they get the info from, are the same ones they wanted to shut down so badly!

Of course in these given figures, no one is saying that less are being made, that the outlets that sell them are less than ever before due to marketing choices the labels themselves made. Adding DRM and calling it enhanced customer experience fools no one. Make it a bitch to use, less will use it. Sue'em all is having it's affect as well. More and more negitive news from that front turns people away from music entirely, doing just the opposite they wish to accomplish. I may spend more money for a game but get far better entertainment value as a result. Sue'em all is making a whole new generation aware of music with negitive connotations. There will be less sales in the future as there will be less interest in buying problem products. Cheat the customer at your own risk.
