File Sharing Increases CD Sales
Andrew writes "ARIA have released figures that show for 2003, album sales have reached an all time high. In fact, according to Peter Martin, who recently went on Australian radio, before file sharing and CD burning they were selling 10 million less. Total unit sales were also at an all time high at 65.6 million. CD single sales declined 1.9 million over the year, but as Peter said file downloading is doing a better job. Should help Kazaa's legal problems."

Call me shallow. Call me prejudiced. But when I see a post where the poster can't so much as capitalize their "I"s, or even remember to not capitalize letters in the middle of a sentence, I immediately feel the inclination to dismiss the message, even if I agree with it.
I know I'm not the only one.
You really don't have to be perfect. But, using reasonable, basic English grammar and syntax is a prerequisite to being taken seriously.
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
You could just as well say that war in Iraq increases music sales, or that global warming increases music sales, or that virus activity, spam, Howard Dean, networking web sites, slashdot dupes, and thongs on MTV improve music sales!
Actually, the thongs-on-MTV theory is the best one.
But HTF can anyone claim that p2p is the cause?

My Mommy and Daddy got a divorce last year.
Now there's somebody new at Daddy's house.
Daddy and his roomate Frank live together.
Work together.
Eat together.
Sleep together.
Shave together.
And sometimes even fight together.
But they always make up.
Frank likes me too!
Just like Daddy, he tells me jokes and riddles,
Helps me catch bugs for show-and-tell,
Reads to me,
Makes great peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches,
And chases nightmares away
When weekends come
We do all sorts of things together.
We go to ball games.
Visit the zoo.
Go to the beach.
Work in the yard.
Go shopping.
And in the evenings, we sing at the piano.
Mommy says Daddy and Frank are gay.
At first I didn't know what that meant. So she explained it.
Being gay is just one more kind of love.
And love is the best kind of happiness.
Daddy and his roommate are very happy together.
And I'm happy too!
There is no good financial numbers for the record industry of this Austrailia for 2003. It is all lies. These infidels would actually have you believe that they are actually making money selling their pieces of plastic with music on them by "Kylie Minogue" and "Danni Minogue". They are not making money in Austrailia. They are not making money anywhere. It is all a lie. They lie. It is a hollywood movie. You do not believe them.
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
Am I the only one who misread that headline as "File Sharing Increases CD-R Sales"?
