And the age group of 18-24, with a third of them buying less music in the past year, if their anything like me their buying less of everything because their at university and therefore have little in the way of ready cash to spend of fripperys like CDs. so what they’re saying is “P2P is destroying the industry”, but in the same breath they also say “Sales are consistantly increasing”.

Also I wish they would show how they do the sampling to get these results? Anyone who's taken economic classes or read the fine print or just uses common sense realizes how poor sample tests can be, specially when is biased before the sample. What if you already picked out biased results. I mean the RIAA is hardly the poster child of honesty and unbiased practices. They make Micro$oft look like small fry considering how long the RIAA has been screwing the whole world. Remember its not just consumers getting screwed, kids, grandparents, the average john doe, countless bands, other industries, countries, governments, the whole world has had laws bent over backwards in favor of the RIAA. Man even Hitler and Stalin or Hussein would have wished they could have been a Record Executive.

Does that mean 67% will bought MORE music? doesnt that mean that people DO buy more music with downloading? Okay now what a minute guys, what am I missing here…
